# ACI Dashboard Individual - Quick Start

## Requirements

- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
- Network access to your APIC
- 8 GB free RAM if you use the AI Copilot (optional)

## 1. Install

Run `ACIWINSetup.exe`.

It installs to `C:\ACI Dashboard Individual` and adds a Start Menu
shortcut. No administrator rights are needed.

## 2. Activate

Start **ACI Dashboard Individual** from the Start Menu. The browser
opens on the activation page and shows your **Machine ID**.

1. Go to https://license.madolka.com
2. Submit the Machine ID shown on the activation page
3. You receive `license.dat` by email once it is approved
4. Upload `license.dat` on the activation page

The app restarts activated. The licence is tied to this machine, so
keep a copy of `license.dat` somewhere safe.

## 3. Connect to your APIC

Log in with your APIC address and credentials. For a local APIC
account, tick **Local account** on the login form.

## 4. AI Copilot (optional)

The AI Copilot runs entirely on your own machine. Nothing you ask it,
and no fabric data, ever leaves your computer.

After activation, open **Fabric Intelligence -> AI Copilot** and click
**Download AI Copilot**. This is a one-time ~4.6 GB download of the
engine and the language model.

Once it finishes, click **Start Local AI**. The badge turns green after
20-40 seconds. Answers take roughly 10-30 seconds on a CPU, a few
seconds on a supported GPU. The AI stops when you close the dashboard.

If the download is interrupted, click it again - it resumes where it
stopped.

**No internet at all?** Ask support for the offline AIKit archive and
unpack it into the install folder instead.

## Ports

The dashboard listens on **127.0.0.1:5001** only. It is not reachable
from other machines and needs no firewall changes.

## Uninstall

Settings -> Apps -> ACI Dashboard Individual -> Uninstall.

Your `license.dat` is kept, so reinstalling stays activated.
