When the Manager and Agent are operating on different computers, do not change the IP address of the computer where the Manager is running and the IP address of the computer where the Agent is running at the same time. Doing so will prevent the Manager and Agent from communicating, and this software will not operate correctly. |

On the [System] menu > [Agents] page, confirm that the Manager is correctly communicating with all the Agents.
2.
Stop the service of this software on the computer where the Manager is running.
Open [Windows Administrative Tools] > [Services] from the Start menu.

NOTE |
If the IP address may be subject to change, it is recommended that you specify the FQDN (fully qualified domain name). |
When the Manager and Agent are running on the same computer, perform the following operation.
