# Creal Farm Desk 34.0 — Start here

**Price:** $50 one time. No mandatory Creal Farm Desk subscription.

1. Extract the entire customer ZIP to a new folder.
2. Run `INSTALL.cmd`. The commercial installer checks the package manifest, installs a clean public build under your Windows user profile, and leaves automatic sign-in startup off.
3. Open the Farm Desk shortcut and create a new local account on the Windows host.
4. Open connection setup and run the local network discovery wizard. It looks for reachable printers on your authorized LAN and maps the controls/readouts each connection reports.
5. Review each discovered printer and add it to your farm. Do not assume every printer exposes every function.
6. Choose your filament profile and open Thermal Watch to review live temperature warnings where telemetry is available.

The included package has no prior owner's printer list, saved accounts, API tokens, logs, recordings or app data. Your settings and device connections are created on your computer.

Thermal Watch is an advisory monitoring aid. It does not prevent fires or replace supervision, safe workshop practices or the printer manufacturer's protections.
