Getting started
Installation
Profile Magician is designed to be a portable, zero-dependency tool. There is no traditional installer to run; simply download the executable and you are ready to go.
System Requirements
- Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11 (all editions).
- Architecture: x64 (64-bit). Limited testing for Windows on ARM.
- Privileges: Must be run as Administrator (Elevated Command Prompt or PowerShell).
- Network: Internet access required for cloud configs, licensing and telemetry (port 443).
Downloading the Client
- Log in to the Profile Magician Portal.
- Click the Download Client button along the top navigation.
- Save
profmage.exeto a USB drive, network share, etc.
Deployment Options
Since profmage.exe is a single binary, you can deploy it via:
- RMM Tools: Use our included PowerShell examples found on your job overview, or build your own using our CLI reference.
- GPO/SCCM: Deploy as a script or package.
- Manual CLI: Manual execution for ad-hoc support (requires --license-key).
You do not need to install Visual C++ Redistributables or .NET Frameworks. Profmage is statically linked and runs on fresh Windows installations.
