The following explains how to install the iCafeCloud Server for the first time and configure it to work with client PCs where iCafeMenu is downloaded and running.

  1. Install iCafeCloud Server on the same PC as CCBoot (in the directory C:\iCafeCloudServer), since you will need to download iCafeMenu to the game disk (E:\Apps\iCafeMenu).
  2. On the iCafeCloud server, click "Options", input your license code and password. (Figure 1)

  3. If you want to add games that you already have on your PC, then refer to add local games.
  4. Overwolf will be downloaded automatically when iCafeMenu is downloaded.
  5. After the download is complete, boot the client PCs.
  6. If you are using the latest version of CCBoot or CCDisk on the client side, iCafeMenu will automatically launch on startup and display the login interface, where users can enter a valid username and password to log in. (Figure 8).

  1. If you are not using the latest version of CCBoot or are using another program, you can start Super Client mode and manually run iCafeMenu.exe once.Then reboot the PC to check if it starts automatically.Finally, shut down the PC and save the changes.
  2. After the first run, iCafeMenu will be automatically added to startup, allowing it to launch faster on the next boot.
    You only need to run iCafeMenu once in Super Client mode and then save the image (if you haven’t already done so in the previous steps).

  1. Now the PC that has iCafeMenu running will be listed on iCafeCloud, “Computers” page (Figure 9).
