On Microsoft Windows platforms, you need administrator privileges to install the SGD Client.

On Microsoft Windows platforms, the SGD Client is installed in the C:\Program Files\Sun\Secure Global Desktop Client directory by default, but you can choose a different installation directory when you install the software. A shortcut for the SGD Client is added to the Windows Start Menu.

On UNIX and Linux platforms, the SGD Client is installed in the $HOME/bin directory by default, but you can choose a different installation directory when you install the software.
