**Note:** All remaining tasks for the workshop will be performed through the **Remote Desktop Session to the Windows EC2 Instance you just connected to in the previous steps**. ----------------
9. Open the Chrome browswer icon located on the desktop of the **Windows EC2 instance** and paste the **Event Engine URL** you noted down earlier (i.e. https://dashboard.eventengine.run/dashboard) - Then in the Event Engine page, enter the **Event Engine Hash** value (that you noted down earlier) in the field provided, and click on the **Accept terms & Login** button.
