Versions and admin rights

The cloud app launcher is available in two versions:

 

Standard version

Public version

Administrator rights required?

No

No admin rights are required to install, use, upgrade, and uninstall this version.

Yes

Admin rights are required to install, upgrade, and uninstall this version.

Once installed, this version can be used by all users without admin rights.

Upload to server

When the Default launcher is uploaded to the server, both versions will be uploaded.

When the customized launcher is uploaded, only the version selected in the customized launcher will be uploaded.

Setup file download/install

The setup file is automatically downloaded from the server when the user accesses the application URL; and installed when the user runs the setup file.

The administrator gets the setup file from the server and installs it manually.

Installation path

Installed to the user's local folder %localappdata%\CloudAppLauncher_V3.

Installed to the system programs folder %programfiles(x86)%\Appeon\CloudAppLauncherPublic_V3 folder.

Launching

Started and used by each user.

The launcher starts when the user launches an app, and stays active until manually ended.

Started automatically and used by all users.

The launcher starts automatically with the system and stays active until manually ended.

Priority

The public version takes precedence if both versions are installed (even if the user has installed the standard version under his own account).

Upgrading

Automatically upgrade.

Rely on the administrator to upgrade.

If the administrator does not promptly upgrade the launcher to the latest version, when the user runs the application, s/he will be prompted to contact the administrator to upgrade it.

Uninstallation

Uninstalled by each user.

Uninstalled by the administrator.
