Overview
SplashtopSOS is the remote-access tool DentiMax Support uses to connect to your computer during a support session. You'll download and run a small program from dentimaxsupport.com, which will generate a one-time 9-digit code. You'll read that code to your DentiMax technician, who uses it to start the remote session.
No installation or account is required — the program only needs to be downloaded and run once for the session.
For more information, we've compiled a detailed runbook for this topic in the Troubleshooting/Procedure section below.
Before You Begin
Confirm the following before starting:
- This procedure is for a Windows computer.
- You are already on the phone or in a chat with a DentiMax support technician — the code generated in Step 3 is only useful once it's given to that technician.
- You have a working internet connection and a web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.).
