5.2Traveling Software

The OIV is not installed on every machine in the world. As a result, it is a good idea to take a copy of the OIV on your thumb drive, take the OIV installer with you, or run your presentation from your personal laptop.

If you do not have Administrator privileges on a computer you want to use, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INSTALLTHE OIV.

If you are giving a lecture outside of UO, ask the systems administrator if you can run or install the OIV before you take the time to build your presentation, or if you can use a laptop.
