Downloads

Download NexusGuard.

Everything needed is bundled. Choose your operating system, then select Admin for the teacher’s PC or Agent for student PCs during setup.

Use requires an active subscription and acceptance of the NexusGuard Terms of Service and Deployment Data Notice by your institution's authorised representative. Your institution controls its Admin and paired Agents.

Agent — Student PCs
NexusGuard Agent
Install in the student desktop account. Starts after sign-in, asks for name and USN, and reconnects to the paired Admin.

Linux 5.2.9 sends USB storage alerts from connected Agents and adds live viewing and remote assistance on supported Wayland desktops. Lab IT can save a viewing approval during setup. Remote control uses separate approval. The Windows download is 5.2.7. Support: [email protected]. To move an existing Linux installation to the new update service, run the Linux 5.2.9 installer once in the same desktop account.

Mandatory Admin activation: NexusGuard requires a valid, time-limited licence issued by Arventiq Labs LLP before management features can be used. On first launch, enter the activation key supplied for your institution. Admin requires an internet connection to verify the subscription during use. Expired, revoked, invalid or unverifiable subscriptions stay locked, and the licensed connected-PC limit is enforced. The licence key is different from the eight-character Agent pairing code. Agent startup is after desktop sign-in. Updates are verified using Arventiq’s vendor signature. This Windows maintenance installer is not Authenticode-signed; Windows warnings may remain.

Arventiq Labs subscription activation

1. Install NexusGuard and select Admin. 2. Open the dashboard and enter the licence key provided by Arventiq Labs LLP. 3. Activate online, then pair your student PCs. Later launches revalidate the saved key automatically. Subscription validity, permitted devices and renewals are managed by Arventiq Labs. To renew or request assistance, contact licensing support.

Setup selects the installation folder and verifies startup automatically. If setup needs attention, use Retry or Copy diagnostic report directly in the installer. Existing licence, pairing and attendance data are retained.

Setup guide

Install once. Connect your lab.

Use the Windows application for the teacher’s Admin PC and the matching Windows or Linux application on student PCs.

Windows Admin / Agent
1
Run the Windows installer
Download NexusGuard_Setup_5.2.7.exe and double-click it. No terminal or special installation folder is required.
2
Choose Admin on the teacher’s PC
Select admin, then Install and Start. Approve the scoped firewall setup if prompted. Activate your licence in the dashboard.
3
Pair student PCs
Open Pairing Guide on Admin. On each student PC, run its installer, select agent, keep the Admin address as auto, and enter the eight-character pairing code.
4
Open the installed shortcut
The dashboard is at http://localhost:8000. Later, open NexusGuard Admin from Start. Agent reconnects after that student account signs in.

Installed per user at %LOCALAPPDATA%\NexusGuardNative\admin or %LOCALAPPDATA%\NexusGuardNative\agent.

Linux Agent / Admin
1
Sign into the Linux desktop
Download NexusGuard_Setup_5.2.9.run in the account students will use. Open a terminal in its download folder.
2
Run the application installer
For the standard Downloads folder:
cd "$HOME/Downloads"
bash NexusGuard_Setup_5.2.9.run
Run in the desktop account without sudo.
3
Choose Agent and pair
Select agent, use auto for the Admin address, and enter the code from the Windows Admin’s Pairing Guide. Select admin only when this Linux PC is the teacher’s server.
4
Identify the student and check connection
Enter name and USN when prompted. Confirm the PC appears online on Admin. After future desktop sign-ins, the Agent starts and reconnects automatically.

Agent files: ~/.local/share/nexusguard-native/agent. The application menu contains NexusGuard Agent.

Keep Admin running during the lab. Automatic discovery needs a shared, multicast-enabled network; lab IT can provide a stable DNS hostname for routed networks. Open Updates on the Admin dashboard to check for releases and approve installation. The Admin downloads each required Windows/Linux package once, sends it to connected Agents and reports their running versions with Check versions. Finish active work and close completed attendance rounds before the Admin restarts.

Migrating an older installation? Use the same desktop account, close the old Admin and disable its old startup task/shortcut. Stop separately configured legacy Agent services to avoid duplicate connections.
