If you plan to deliver software to non-Windows client computers, install the
Software Management Solution Plug-in for UNIX, Linux, and Mac on those
computers.This plug-in also provides support for the AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris
operating systems.
See
"About the agents and plug-ins that Software Management Solution uses"
on page 37.
The Software Management Solution Plug-in for UNIX, Linux, and Mac supports
the Software Portal on the Mac operating system. A separate Software Portal
agent or plug-in is not provided for non-Windows computers.
Note: If the Altiris Agent window is open on the client computer when this plug-in
is installed, the Software Portal link does not appear. To prevent this issue, restart
the Altiris Agent on the client computer after the plug-in is installed. After the
Altiris Agent restarts, the Software Portal link becomes available to the user.
This task is a step in the process for implementing Software Management Solution.

"Implementing Software Management Solution"
You can also install a Software Management Solution agent for Windows
computers.
