2. Copy to any folder on remote machine 'Remote Agent' which could be find in JetBrains/dotTrace/v.x.y/Bin/Remote on the local machine
3. From the console on remote machine start RemoteAgent with arguments /console. Remote Agent should start and the passphrase should be generated
4. If you need to profile Standalone application, then Copy path to it to the clipboard

• On local machine

3. Select 'Remote' profiling
4. Insert the name (or IP) of remote machine
5. Insert passpharse which was generated by Agent on remote machine
