Dragon Client Installation Guide Checklist—Planning the client installation Use this checklist to help you prepare for client installations. Task Reference Set default options at the site and group level for PowerMic settings and hot keys in the NMC console (NMS mode only). Nuance Management Center Administrator Guide Create Sites, Groups, and Users and assign licenses in the NMC console.
Chapter 2: Preparing to install Dragon Preparing for an installation Before installing, modifying, or upgrading Dragon: l l Install any pending Windows updates, and then restart the computer. Turn off or disable any antivirus software until installation is complete. Installation can sometimes trigger a false virus report. l Close all open applications. l Read “Checklist—Planning the client installation” on page 15. l Ensure your system meets the requirements before attempting to install Dragon.
Dragon Client Installation Guide Security considerations When your organization implements Dragon, it is critical to install the software and its system components using secure installation methods to protect the integrity and confidentiality of your data. It is equally important to manage and monitor your system once installed to ensure that your data is protected from unauthorized access and misuse.
Chapter 2: Preparing to install Dragon Installing and configuring Dragon securely The Dragon installation instructions include procedures that install the application and system components into a secure state by default. In addition to performing the standard installation procedures, you can do the following to secure your data. l Secure your DRA files. A DRA file contains acoustic data (audio and text transcripts) from your dictation.
Dragon Client Installation Guide l Disable use of Advanced Scripting Commands l Do not allow restricted users to modify vocabularies For more information, see the "Administrative Settings dialog box—Miscellaneous tab" topic in the Dragon client Help. Nuance Management Center security features If you are using a Dragon edition where Nuance Management Center/NMS mode is enabled, you can use the following security features in Nuance Management Center.
Chapter 2: Preparing to install Dragon Assigning privileges Privileges determine the ribbons, menus, and options that users can access in the NMC console. You assign or unassign privileges to show or hide those options. You should assign the least amount of privileges that users require to perform all tasks relevant to their job responsibilities.
Dragon Client Installation Guide Storage space considerations Each Dragon user must have his or her own user profile. This is a set of files in which Dragon stores information about each user’s voice, frequently-used words and phrases, optional settings, and custom commands (if applicable). Each computer on which Dragon is installed must have enough free space for the required user profile(s). Use the following guidelines for allocating disk space on your system.
Chapter 2: Preparing to install Dragon Required access rights and permissions The following table describes the permissions Dragon requires to allow all components to communicate with each other. These are the default permissions assigned at the time of your Windows installation and should not be changed. Directory or registry key Permissions or access rights Users affected \Appdata\Local\Nuance\NS15 folder and all sub-folders Read/Write Windows user accounts for all users dictating on Dragon clients
Dragon Client Installation Guide Preparing client workstations Turning off Windows Automatic Updates After you set up each physical server or workstation, turn off Windows Automatic Updates. For each update Windows sends, install it first on a single test machine; update other machines only after you have determined that it does not disrupt the network.
Chapter 2: Preparing to install Dragon Dragon system requirements During the installation process, the software checks that your system meets the following requirements. If they are not met, Dragon is not installed. RAM Minimum: l CPU Free hard disk space Supported operating systems Other 4 GB for all operating systems. Minimum: 2.2 GHz Intel® dual core or equivalent AMD processor. Faster processors yield faster performance.

Dragon Client Installation Guide Install Dragon and choose the default settings Install Dragon on the client computer using the installation DVD. If you plan to install Dragon on multiple computers, run through an initial installation before attempting to install Dragon from a server. Use the initial client installation to set default values for Administrative and Auto-Formatting options. You can then install Dragon on other computers using the same options.
Chapter 3: Initial Installation of Dragon NMC users—Only options in the Commands tab are saved to the NMC server. All other settings are saved locally. l Auto-Formatting—Select the Auto-Formatting options. NMC users—Administrators can also control these settings in the NMC console. l Advanced—Select default settings on the following tabs: l Roaming (Stand-alone mode only)—Optionally enable and configure the Roaming feature.

Dragon Client Installation Guide Overview—Installing the Dragon client with initial settings Use command line options to copy the settings you created in the initial Dragon installation to all your Dragon client installations. Prerequisites Before installing the Dragon clients: Have the Dragon serial number available. If you are installing or upgrading Dragon on multiple networked computers, have the group serial number available.
Chapter 4: Installing the Dragon client with settings Several servers support this type of network installation: l l l l Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2012 x64 Windows Server 2016 System Management Server (SMS) Active Directory Dragon supports the Active Directory Assign to Computers installation option. For an administrative installation, the administrator creates an image of the installation program on the server and then configures the server to automatically push the application onto the client systems.
Dragon Client Installation Guide Installing the same Dragon configuration on multiple computers Use the following procedure to install with setup.exe in the command line from a single client machine. Note: When you are using the setup.exe method, you must ensure that all flags and properties are within the same set of quotes, directly after /v, without a space. 1. Open a Command Prompt: l l l Windows 7: Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt Windows 8.
Chapter 4: Installing the Dragon client with settings Performing an administrative installation with a batch file A simple way to install Dragon from the command line is to perform an administrative installation using a .bat file. A script for performing a full administrative installation is provided in the admininstall.bat file included with your installer. Caution: Only advanced administrators should perform an administrative installation. To run the batch file: 1.

A silent installation of Dragon does not display any messages. Check the setup log for any installation messages or errors.
Chapter 4: Installing the Dragon client with settings Command Line installation with msiexec.exe Another way to install Dragon from the command line on several client computers is to use the msiexec.exe program from Microsoft. The compiled MSI file, Dragon 15.msi, is located on your installation DVD. You can double-click the .msi file to start the InstallShield Wizard. However, to take advantage of available command line options, use the command line installation process described below.

Dragon Client Installation Guide Associating Dragon clients with the Nuance Management Center server or Local Authenticator To allow Dragon clients to work with Nuance Management Center, you must enable Nuance Management Center/NMS mode on each client. You can set up the connection during your initial installation (for more information, see “Initial installation” on page 26) or follow the steps below to manually enable Nuance Management Center/NMS mode.
Chapter 5: Configure the Dragon Client for Nuance Management Center Enabling TLS The Dragon Professional client requires the use of TLS 1.2 to connect to the Nuance Management Center server. If it is not already enabled, you must enable it on your Nuance Management Center server to allow the clients to communicate to Nuance Management Center.
Dragon Client Installation Guide Converting from Stand-Alone mode to NMS mode If your organization decides to purchase Nuance Management Center after configuring Dragon for Stand-Alone use, you must configure all Dragon clients to connect to Nuance Management Center. Use one of the methods below to convert your clients. The methods require modifying the default Dragon settings in nsdefaults.ini. For more information on nsdefaults.ini, see “Modifying nsdefaults.ini” on page 41.
