Quick Start - Start a Virtual Workstation. A Visual Guide

You need to access a StratusCore Virtual Workstation right now.

Log into the StratusCore Virtual Studio Dashboard.

Step #1 - Download the StratusCore Virtual Workstation Client.  This is a small application which you will need to install ONE TIME.

Please Note: If you have already installed the application you do NOT need to re-install.  You can skip this step.

Step #2 - Select a geographical location closest to you.

Step #3 - Select a resource pool.

Please Note: If you are not signed up for a free trial, OR you have not purchased Virtual Workstation time, the selection will be blank. You MUST have Virtual Workstation time to continue.

Step #4 - Click the [Choose Your Software] button

Next - Select applications for your Virtual Workstation

After selecting applications, click [LAUNCH Virtual Workstation]

Your session token will be generated.  (The counter at the top of the page lets you know approximately how long its taking.)

After the token is created, you will be prompted to save the .SVW file or run the file.  SAVE the .SVW file to your computer.

After saving the .SVW file to your computer, locate the file, and double-click on the .SVW file to begin your Virtual Workstation session.

PLEASE NOTE: If you forgot where you saved the .SVW file, most PC web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Vivaldi etc) will allow you to easily see downloaded files by typing Ctrl + J on your keyboard.

In Chrome, you can also type "chrome://downloads/" in the location bar.

In Firefox (and or Mozilla based browsers) you can type "about:downloads" in the location bar.
