Installing desktop applications

HCP Anywhere provides desktop applications for both Windows and Mac. For information on the specific operating system versions that HCP Anywhere supports, see Supported desktop operating systems.

Your administrator tells you where you can retrieve the desktop applications. You may be able to download the applications from the User Portal, from another website or location on your organization's network, or your administrator may automatically install the application for you.

When you start the desktop application for the first time, you need to specify some information to register with the HCP Anywhere system. Your administrator may have already specified some or all of this information in the application for you. To learn about the information you need, see Desktop registration information.

Once installed, the desktop application can be used by all users that have access to the computer. Each user can access only his or her own files.

When you register the application, you choose the location of your synced folder. HCP Anywhere automatically synchronizes the contents of this folder with your other devices.

Note: Your system administrator may not allow you to register certain types of devices. For example, you could be allowed to register Windows computers but not Macs.
