Considerations
You must have a CrashPlan for Small Business account before you can download the Code42 app. If you don't have an account, sign up now.
Before you begin
- Create a separate account for each user before installing the Code42 app on those users' devices. With separate user accounts, you can:
- Manage each user individually.
- Ensure each person can download only their own backed-up files instead of having access to the files of other people in your small business.
- In some situations, you may prefer to install the Code42 app for multiple users on the same computer, instead of following the installation instructions below.
- With CrashPlan for Small Business, you are billed each month for the number of active devices in your organization, regardless of the number of users you have.
