The Live Content Studio Manager is a PC installation, installed via an MSI, and only for those creating the content. By default, the applications are installed in Program Files (x86)\TutorPro Ltd. Users with access to the Live Content Manager tool will need to “Run As Administrator” to ensure that updates can be applied. To do this follow these steps: 1.Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\TutorPro Ltd\Live Content Studio in Windows Explorer 2.Right click on the file TutorPro Live Content Studio.exe and Create Shortcut to the Desktop 3.Right click on the new shortcut on the desktop and select 'Properties' -> 'Advanced' 4.Select Run as administrator 5.Click OK and OK again It is possible to run Live Content Studio from your user profile to eliminate the need to "Run as Administrator" for updates. On installation of Live Content Studio you have an option to select the installation folder. Make this your user profile and you should have full access to all files making the update process more seamless. For Example: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\TutorPro Ltd\Live Content Studio |
If you are creating assessments, you will need a location on your network where all users have Write Permissions to save their results on completion of the assessment. |

During this session you will be asked to share your screen. You will identify a select few courses in your LMS for Intellek to update and for you to test with the new installation. On the same call, if all is ok, Intellek will perform the necessary steps to update all Live Content in the Intellek LMS. ❑If you use another LMS or alternate methods of distributing Live Content, that content will need to be converted. Please contact support@Intellek.io for steps to convert Live Content in your special circumstance.
