Introduction The MySabreTM Installation process has been automated to provide you with a smooth installation and migration to Sabre Travel Network’s new desktop platform. This document was created to provide you with a comprehensive set of instructions to reference when installing MySabre. If you are a new MySabre user, please follow the steps below. Before Installing Verify the following: • You have an Internet connection. • The workstation(s) meets or exceeds the MySabre minimum requirements. • Windows XP or higher • 2.0 GHz processor or as recommended by your version of Windows • 512 MB of RAM or higher • Screen Resolution recommendation is a minimum of "High Color (16 bit)" with a minimum of 1024 x 768 • You have a valid Sabre® system Sign-in, Password, and Pseudo City Code. If not, contact your manager or MySabre representative. • Your browser must be Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher. MySabre Migration / Installation Guide December 2009 3 New MySabre User Installation Before installing or migrating to MySabre, it is suggested that you close any open applications. From your browser go to https://my.sabre.com At the MySabre sign in screen provide a unique Agent ID (EPR), Sabre Password, and Pseudo City Code (PCC) and then click on the “Sign in” button. • If you are a new MySabre user this information including a temporary password will have been provided to you by MySabre via your security webroom. You will be prompted to change your temporary password to a permanent password as soon as you enter. MySabre Migration / Installation Guide December 2009 4 Complete all appropriate fields. The New Password must be 6-8 alpha/numeric characters. The system doesn’t accept a few identical letters and numbers in a run and the word “Sabre” in various combinations. • If you are a new agent, your manager can supply you with this information. Note: It is imperative that each employee sign in with their own unique, confidential password. Employees within an office or location should never share a password. 1. The “Welcome Screen” will appear. Additional information including Minimum Requirements, FAQs, Bulletins, Downloads and other useful information can be found at the “Resource” center. 2. Click on “Next” MySabre Migration / Installation Guide December 2009 5 Note: Windows XP with Service Pack 2 continue with step 3. Windows XP with Service Pack 3 proceed to step8. Windows 7 or Vista proceed to step 6. 3. Windows XP with Service Pack 2 users, select the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Microsoft update link. 4. From the Microsoft download page, select the “Download” button and follow the instructions for this update. 5. Once the update is installed, restart your computer and begin the MySabre Installation. Skip to step #8. 6. Windows 7 or Vista users, select the Windows 7 or Vista Update to install a patch to set the necessary security rights. 7. Select Run to begin installation of the update. Running the update will require a reboot of the PC. Return to https://my.sabre.com and proceed to step 8. MySabre Migration / Installation Guide December 2009 6 8. Click on “Install MySabre” 9. You may be prompted to install Active X Control. Click on “Yes” to install the MySabre ActiveX Control. 10. The installation routine will use an ActiveX plug-in to check your system to ensure it meets the minimum hardware requirements including the workstation’s processor (CPU), RAM, hard drive space, and video settings. MySabre Migration / Installation Guide December 2009 7 • If all items Pass, proceed to the next step. • If all items Fail and you have “ActiveX Failure” in the “Your System” column, this is due to the browser not being able to run the ActiveX plug-in. Directions on how to enable the ActiveX plug-in are located in Appendix A. Once this has been resolved, return to this step. • If the Processor is the only item that failed and you believe that this is incorrect, click on the Processor Failure link to continue. • If the Video Resolution is the only item that failed, this is probably due to the workstation’s current video resolution setting and can be corrected very easily. Directions for changing the resolution are located in Appendix B. Once resolved, return to step 9.

MySabre Migration / Installation Guide December 2009 22 Appendix C – Windows 7 or Vista Operating Systems 1. During the installation of MySabre on Windows 7 and Vista we raise the level in the browser to run as an administrator. After the workstation has been re-booted for a second time the level in the browser is back to normal. If the user does not have administrator rights on the local workstation it will be necessary to remove this elevated status by going into Control Panel>Programs and Features and remove the program called IE. Once this is done the MySabre icon on the desktop will open MySabre. 2. It is recommended you enable downloads in your Internet Explorer Browser to allow the proper download and installation of Sabre VPN. To do this from the browser follow these steps: o Select Tools. o Internet Options. o Security. o Highlight “Trusted Sites”. o Select Custom Level. o Scroll down until you find the Downloads section and select “Enable”.

When installing the Sabre Print Module on a Windows 7 machine it will be necessary to reboot the PC. o When the PC comes back up you will be presented with a “Windows Security Alert” where you will need to select Allow Access. o It will be necessary to launch the SPM manually. o To do so open Windows Explorer and go to C:\SABRE\Apps\OADP and select OadpUtil. o Select Allow Access in the Windows Security Alert window. o The SPM icon will appear in the task tray. 4. Windows Vista users will find the Sabre Print Module works a little differently. It will launch automatically when the PC is re-booted.
