     Clients installed from packages produced by a serverless installation of the SEE Manager do not communicate with

    an SEE Management Server, and are known as “silent clients.” Default mode deployments and serverless
    deployments of the SEE Manager can coexist within the same SEE deployment.
    The serverless installation mode may be appropriate in the following situations:

    The deployment consists of a few SEE clients, and the cost of installing and maintaining an SEE database
    instance is hard to justify;

    The lack of reporting capability is deemed an acceptable risk; or

    There is a security requirement that SEE clients should not generate any network traffic.

    The SEE Manager is used by Policy Administrators and runs on one or more computers designated as Manager
    Computers. During installation of the initial Manager Console, the installer generates a set of keys, creates a backup
    of those keys, and stores them in the SEE database. For centralized administration, a Manager Computer could be
    configured to be remotely accessed by Policy Administrators.
