This page provides information on how to get all Chaos products up and running with a single installer. 


## **Overview**

---

Chaos Installer is a unified installer that installs all Chaos products that a user has [purchased](https://www.chaos.com/pricing) with their latest versions.

During the onboarding at Chaos or to reduce installation steps, the Installer will provide everything included in the Licensing plan. 

> ℹ️ Currently, Chaos Installer is available only for Windows.


## **Downloading the Installer**

---

**My Chaos** portal includes the Download section, where the Installer is listed. 

> Macro (refined-button)

### **3. Product selection**

The product list depends on the [purchased license package](https://www.chaos.com/pricing). The Installer offers *the latest official versions* of the chosen products.

### **4. Cloud Licensing Аvailable**

Click **Continue** to start the installation process by using Cloud licensing (for the products that support it).

> ℹ️ Chaos products use two licensing models: <u>[Cloud Licensing](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LIC5/pages/124524692)</u> and the <u>[License Server](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LIC5/pages/124524875)</u>. Cloud Licensing offers maximum flexibility, allowing you to sign in with your Chaos Account and use products from any location with an Internet connection. The License Server allows to set up centralized network setups and requires you to be on the same local network or connect through a VPN.

To choose between the two licensing models, click **Change**.

The *License Server* has two options:

- **Local License Server **- Connect to a License Server on this device. Installs or updates the License Server if needed.
- **Remote License Server **- Connect to an existing License Server within your local area network.

Use the dropdown to select the language and click **Continue**.


### **6. Chaos Improvement program**

**Anonymized Telemetry** – Includes the most used product functionality and/or parameter values. The data is not personally identifiable and is not tied to the user's individual account.

**Personalized Telemetry** – Includes the most used product functionality, parameter values, but also contains personally identifiable information tied to an individual user's license. This helps Chaos tailor and optimize the product for better personal use.
