Serving Stellenbosch & surrounds • Transparent pricing • POPIA-aligned

software-install-bulk-per-device — Digissential

What’s included

  • Install 4–8 apps in one sitting
  • License/account activation done right
  • Clean defaults and safe update channels
  • Quick open-and-use test for each app

Details

TL;DR: We install 4–8 apps at once, sign you in, set clean defaults, and make sure each one opens and works.
Local: Great for SU students, homes in Welgevonden/Die Boord, and Technopark teams rolling out new PCs.

Problems we solve

  • New PC with no tools yet
  • Old installs full of trials and pop-ups
  • Apps work on one PC but not the other
  • Licenses not activated, updates missing
  • Ten download pages and no time

What’s included

  • Install 4–8 apps from trusted sources
  • License / account sign-in and activation
  • Updates on with calm, safe channels
  • Clean defaults (privacy, file types, shortcuts)
  • Quick test: each app opens and does a simple task
  • Short notes: what we installed and where to find it

How we do it (at a glance)

  1. Make the list: you tell us the apps you need
  2. Fetch safely: download from the maker or known mirrors
  3. Install cleanly: no junk bundles, no toolbars
  4. Sign in: add your accounts/keys and check they stick
  5. Set basics: file associations, auto-start only when useful
  6. Test: quick open/save/print or login flow per app
  7. Handover: plain-English notes you can keep

Plain words. No tech talk.

Time & cost in Stellenbosch

  • Bulk install fee: R300 (4–8 apps)
  • More than eight apps? We’ll quote before we start
  • Turnaround: Often same day; big downloads can add time
  • Need it on-site? Add /services/on-site-surcharge-within-20km/

Good fits

  • New laptop for class or work
  • Family PCs that need the same set of apps
  • Small offices standardising tools across a few machines

Do-nots (save time and stress)

  • Don’t click every “free add-on” during installs
  • Don’t mix five cleaners and “boosters”
  • Don’t use random key sites for licenses
  • Don’t let every app auto-start — it slows boot

When to stop DIY & call us

  • Apps won’t activate though you paid
  • Installers fail or roll back
  • File types open in the wrong app
  • Updates get stuck or break features

Real stories around town

  • SU first-year (Huis Marais): Needed Office, Zoom, a browser, and PDF tools. All set with a tidy start menu in one visit.
  • Die Boord home office: Two PCs; same eight apps. We matched defaults and set a weekly update window.
  • Technopark team: New laptops for hires. We loaded the stack, set sign-ins, and everyone was ready for Monday.

Simple tips

  • Keep your app list in a note so repeats are easy
  • Use one strong passphrase in a password manager
  • Let updates run on a quiet evening
  • Back up settings/export lists for key apps when possible

What we’ll need

  • License keys or account logins
  • Any company installers or portals
  • Your Windows login to complete installs
