    Here are some things to consider to help you decide which installation method to choose:

    • Online Installation

      Pros

      • Online installer size is small which is 6KB to 3.5MB depending on operating system as it contains only the initial installation package files.

      • Ensures the latest version of AhsayOBM is installed.

      • Suitable for client sites with fast and stable internet connection as internet connection is needed each time an installation is run.

      Cons

      • Installation takes more time as it needs to download the binary and component files (80 to 132MB depending on operating system) each time the installation is run.

      • Slow internet connection will result in longer installation time. Interrupted or unstable internet connection may cause installation to fail.

    • Offline Installation

      Pros

      • Installation takes less time as all the necessary binary and component files are already available in the offline installer.

      • Installer can be downloaded once and reused many times.

      • Can be used for multiple or mass device installations.

      • Suitable for client sites with metered internet connection as once the offline installer is downloaded, internet connection is not needed to run an installation.

      Cons

      • Offline installer size is 50MB to 195MB depending on operating system as it contains all the necessary binary and component files.

      • Installer might contain outdated binaries. May need to update the product version after installation if an older offline installer was used.
