RentalPoint Installation Package

RentalPoint Installation Overview

Once Microsoft SQL Server as well the other prerequisites are installed, you can now download the RentalPoint installation package.  Please keep in mind that the full installation download is, by default, missing the license file (prodref.hdl). This is intentional and the installation will not work until you have installed the license file manually. It is likely that you have already received a license file in an email from us. However if for some reason you have not received it, you can request another copy by emailing support@rentp.com.
