Alternative Start-up Procedures
At some installations, you may be required to follow an alternative start-up procedure. Instead of clicking on Start, click on Alternative login. The start page is then expanded to display the following options:
Select the options you require or have been instructed to select and then press the Start button as before:
- Language
-
This sets the language used in the Content Studio user interface.
- Login type
-
The Google option lets you log in using your Google username and password. Only select this option if you have been told to do so (it will only work if the Content Engine has been set up to use Google authentication by your system manager).
- Launcher
-
Webstart and Getdown are two different systems for downloading and running Content Studio. You should select the option recommended by your system manager.
If you select the GetDown launcher, then you may notice that a new
folder appears in your "home" folder, called
com.escenic.studio. You should leave this
folder alone and not delete it, otherwise the
Content Studio
icon on your desktop won't work. Should this actually happen to
you, just start your browser, revisit the
Content Studio
startup page, select the same options again and press
Start.
