Post-Installation Steps

  • Restart Workstation:

    It is recommended to restart your workstation after successful installation of ActivClient to make sure all the services are active and operative.

  • Smart card readers:

    • The smart card reader that you use requires a reader driver. This driver might be present in your Microsoft Windows system, or you might need to install it. Contact your reader vendor for information.

    • If you use an HID Global OMNIKEY® reader, and if the reader is not recognized automatically, or if the driver is not installed by Microsoft Windows Update, the drivers are available for download from HID Global’s web site at http://www.hidglobal.com/drivers.

  • Using ActivClient with Microsoft Outlook:

    In order to use ActivClient with Microsoft Outlook installed after ActivClient, you must register ActivClient to the application using the Add/Remove or Repair action on the Microsoft Outlook Usability Enhancements feature see Customize ActivID ActivClient After Installation.

  • Using ActivClient with Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird:

    ActivClient supports a security module in order to work with Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. Refer About Firefox and Thunderbird Support.
