Download LYNX TameFlow (ONLY!)
LYNX TameFlow will be installed in combination with the Lynx application when using one of the methods above. When you use the Tameflow buttons and/or menu options within the LYNX application, Tameflow will be downloaded and installed.
However, for users that only need to work with LYNX TameFlow a separate installer is available via the following download link:
Select Install Mode - "Install for me only"
After downloading has completed you will be asked to "Select install mode":
We recommend to select "Install for me only“. This will install LYNX in your own user directory (located on your computer as shown in the following path: C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Programs\A-Dato\Lynx).
Both the installation of LYNX in a user-directory and the automated update process normally do not require any special "admin" rights.
The LYNX update process will automatically check the latest LYNX version in the location of the user-directory. Once a newer update is available the update process will happen automatically.
Method 3: Windows Store
Go to the Microsoft Store and search for LYNX (Scheduler):
You can now download LYNX:
LYNX will be installed using the App Installer process, as described in this within method 1.
Other stores
The possibility to downloading LYNX from other stores will be added soon.
Additional Installation Options
The ability to install new software and also new software updates on the computer of a "company" user may be restricted as a result of the IT Policy of a company or organization. For example "admin" rights may be required to allow installation of new software, either in the user-directory or standard directory.
In this case the following options are available:
- LYNX can be installed in one central folder, controlled and updated by "IT". A user can start LYNX via a link pointing to the LYNX application in this folder. The update of the LYNX version in the central folder, is done automatically
- The LYNX Setup File has one of the highest Security Certificates - a possibility is that IT opens the installation and update process of LYNX specifically to LYNX users
- Users may have the possibility to request for temporary admin rights, through an automated procedure provided by IT
