Grooper on Azure Marketplace

Want to get started using Grooper without setting up a bunch of infrastructure on your own? Check out Grooper on the Azure Marketplace!

• Create a Grooper VM with everything already installed and ready to go.
• Users can choose a 60 day free trial or bring their own license key.
• The Grooper VM comes with several example Grooper Projects and Batches to explore.

Getting Started: Create a Grooper VM from Azure Marketplace

This tutorial assumes you already have an Azure account and capabilities to create resources, such as virtual machines.

1. Go to the Microsoft Azure portal (portal.azure.com)
2. Search for "Marketplace".
3. Search the Marketplace for "Grooper".
4. Select "Grooper".
5. Using the "Subscription" dropdown, select the Azure subscription you wish to use to create the VM.
6. Using the "Plan" dropdown choose one of the following:
   • 60-Day Free Trial: Choose this if you do not have a Grooper license key and simply wish to evaluate the product for a trial period.
   • BYOL: Choose this if you want to "bring your own license". If you already have a Grooper license key, you can enter it into the root of the Grooper Repository (We'll show you how in subsequent steps).

What comes on the Grooper VM?

Everything needed to give Grooper a test run already comes installed and configured. This includes:

• Grooper
• Grooper Web Client
• SQL Express (needed to host the Grooper Repository's database)
• Internet Information Services (needed to host the Grooper web app)
• A Grooper Repository
• Demo Grooper Projects and Batches
