Install Locally

Follow these steps to install SafeSend locally, on an individual PC.

  1. Double-click on the installer package
  2. Accept the End-user License Agreement
  3. Click Install

Now that VIPRE SafeSend is installed on your local PC, it's time to make it work specifically for your needs!

The first thing you'll want to do is customize VIPRE SafeSend to your organization. You can do things like setting the Administrative password and adding your organization's logo for a personalized look and feel. Once you've got it customized, then you'll want to take a look at the settings and really configure how you want SafeSend to behave.

We've already discussed the differences between customizing and configuring, so let's get started.
