Tip: Turning off the computer’s security program before you install Covenant Eyes isn’t necessary; but it is an easy way to make sure the process goes smoothly.

Begin by signing into your online account with your Covenant Eyes username and password. From the Menu, select “Downloads.”

You will automatically be shown the download that matches your computer’s operating system. The latest version is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. If you are installing on a Windows Vista or XP device, you’ll need to click the words “Show all downloads” and select Version 6.5.0.

Now that you’re in the right place, follow these easy steps:

1. Click the blue “Download Now” button to download the software and start the installation process.
2. You will be given the choice to run the install file, save it, or cancel the download. Choose “Run.” Your download will then start automatically. (Note: Depending on your choice of web browser, you may only be given the option to save the file or cancel the download. Choose “Save,” then open the downloaded file.)
3. Windows may ask if you want to allow the program to make changes to your computer. Select “Yes.”
4. The Install Wizard will start automatically. Close down any extra programs you have running and click the “Next” button as it appears on the next few screens.
5. At the end, click “Finish.” If you are prompted to restart, you will choose to do that immediately or wait, and then you can click “Finish.”
