#### Step 1
Unpack the box with the Hideez Key. Take out the key.
{% hint style="info" %}
At this stage, you don't need either a dongle or additional Hideez Group software.
{% endhint %}
#### Step 2
Try to use the Hideez Key as a U2F security key.\
[Using Hideez Key as a U2F security key for your two-factor authentication](/use-cases/fido-security-key/using-hideez-key-as-u2f-security-key-for-your-two-factor-authentication.md)

### Using the full functionality of Hideez Authentication Service
#### Step 1
In a Hideez Group email, you received the server address and access. Please go to the server and add one employee. At this stage, it is enough to fill in only his or her name and leave the rest of the data blank.\
[How to add an Employee?](/hideez-enterprise-server/employees/how-to-add-an-employee.md)
#### Step 2
Add the Hideez Key to your Employee.\
[Assign a key to the user](/hideez-enterprise-server/hardware-vaults/assign-a-key-to-the-user.md)
#### Step 3
Install the Hideez Client on your workstation.
If Hideez staff didn't give you any special version, then use the latest stable version, which can be downloaded [here](/product-updates/hideez-client-updates.md).
Installation instructions are [here](/hideez-client-app/windows-deployment/set-up-hideez-client-app.md).
{% hint style="warning" %}

{% endhint %}
#### Step 4
Enter the HES address in the Hideez Client.\
Approve the workstation on the server.\
[How to add and approve Workstations?](/hideez-enterprise-server/workstations/how-to-add-and-approve-workstations.md)
#### Step 5 (only for working with the Hideez Dongle)
Unpack the box with the Hideez Key if you haven't done so previously. Take out the key and insert the dongle into the USB port.
#### Step 6
Follow the steps to configure the Hideez Client for the Hardware Vault.
#### Step **7**
