If you plan to use software virtualization to manage Windows-based software on client computers, install the Symantec Workspace Virtualization Agent on those computers.
See Managing virtual applications.
By default, the Software Catalog contains a software resource for the Symantec Workspace Virtualization Agent. You can use any delivery method to deliver the agent to client computers. You are licensed to deliver the Symantec Workspace Virtualization Agent to as many nodes as you purchased for Software Management Solution.
Two entries of the latest version of the Symantec Virtualization Agent that Software Management Solution supports exist in the software catalog. One entry for 30-bit operating systems and another for 64-bit operating systems. Previous versions of the agent can also be present in the software catalog, however Symantec recommends that you always install the latest one.
As with any other software resource, when you install the Symantec Workspace Virtualization Agent, you can use its default command lines or create your own.
The Symantec Workspace Virtualization Agent requires that the Software Management Solution plug-in is installed on the client computers.
See Installing or upgrading the Software Management Solution plug-in.
