Requirements

Operating System:
- Windows 2000 or newer; 128 MB RAM or greater; 2 MB hard drive space
- Mac OSX 10.4 (Tiger) or newer

Admin rights: You can install the new Crossloop client on Vista or Win7 while logged in as a non-admin user however, you might have to provide an admin password if UAC is set to prompt for one. You still need admin rights to install CrossLoop on operating systems older than Vista. You will receive an error message if you do not have it. Speak to your System Administrator to solve this error message.

Installing to a different location
The CrossLoop application has a fixed install path in order to prevent people from installing on removable drives as that may lead to performance problems.

Over install (installing without uninstalling an older version)
There is no need to uninstall your older version of CrossLoop; you can install the current version over the old one.
