Warning

You cannot start the SEB without a configuration. In order to test the installation, a valid configuration file is needed. This configuration file will be given to you by the exam team. That means, you always open the SEB via a link provided to you and you never open the installation.

If you already installed a SEB version in the past you need to replace the existing one. The SEB will not work properly if multiple versions of SEB are installed on your device. Click on "Replace" to replace the older version of the SEB.
