Download Cloud Agent Installer

- Login to the Qualys Cloud Platform and select Cloud Agent from the application picker.
- In the Activation Keys tab, select an available activation key, and click Install Agent from Quick Actions menu.
Create a new activation key if no activation key is available.
- On the Install Agent screen, click Install Instructions next to Windows (.exe).

- Click Download .exe to download the Cloud Agent installer on your local system.
- The Install Agent screen also shows the Activation ID and Customer ID. Copy these details to a safe place as you need them details to complete the Cloud Agent installation.
If you use the GoldenImage parameter as True, it installs a Cloud Agent in a non-running state so that it does not generate a HostID. The HostID is generated and provisioned when you start the Cloud Agent next time.
