Install AxiShield through one controlled, auditable workflow.
Deployment is designed to be repeatable without hiding critical security steps. The installer verifies the environment, creates a pairing identity and pauses until the customer explicitly authorises the machine and assigns a valid licence from the portal.
Prepare compatible infrastructure
Start with Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS on supported physical hardware, VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, KVM or a suitable private-cloud instance. Network interfaces should be available to the operating system before the protected roles are assigned.
Launch the universal installer
Run the published installation command and follow the visible progress stages. The installer prepares required services, validates prerequisites and creates the information needed to pair this machine with the customer account.
Authorise and licence the appliance
Copy the pairing code into the customer portal, confirm the intended machine and choose an available Trial or commercial licence. Installation continues only after this explicit authorisation, linking the appliance to its owner and entitlements.
Complete configuration and operate
Open the AxiShield workspace, assign interface roles and configure the required network and security applications. Updates, licensing state and appliance identity remain connected to the same controlled lifecycle after installation.
