Installing packages and features
WinClient
The following table shows the installation packages and features of the SafeGuard Enterprise encryption software on endpoints. You find the installation packages in the Installers folder of your product delivery.
The default installation contains full disk encryption only. On endpoints running Windows 7, SafeGuard Full Disk Encryption is installed. On endpoints running Windows 8 or newer, BitLocker is installed. If you want to install a file encryption module, you need to select a Custom installation and select the required components. Note that you can only install either Synchronized Encryption or location-based File Encryption, not both.
When the operating system of the endpoint is Windows 64-bit, install the 64-bit variant of the installation packages (<package name>_x64.msi).
