ROBERT KNOWS does not need to be installed on the individual clients. It is sufficient to copy the files into a directory and make the share available to the users.
The software is available as an executable file with an associated folder structure. The software itself can be downloaded from the Internet via a website link, but can only be used to its full extent in conjunction with a hardware dongle. The software can be started and used directly without an installation routine and is therefore portable.
