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 website.

  • 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 component. See Customize ActivID ActivClient After Installation.
