User Requirements
On some networks, stringent protocols are in place to limit user access to system resources. This prevents users from doing basic functions such as editing the Windows registry. This may prevent a user of the PC from successfully installing and operating the DownStream Technologies software or License Manager. If this occurs, you must contact your network administrator to assist with the installation.

DownStream Technologies products can be installed, operated and licensed on Virtual Machines. There are some limitations with regard to licensing and the currently supported Virtual Machine Providers. For technical details on Virtual Machine support, review the Installation Guide.
