Introduction Note Although the Altiris Client agent is preinstalled, a free license will no longer be included on the t574x and all new platforms going forward. To purchase a license, contact Altiris at http://www.altiris.com. Altiris Deployment Solution uses a program called Altiris Rapideploy for image deployment. Upon image deployment, you must create a unique System ID (SID) for each WES- and XPe-based thin client to prevent security vulnerabilities.
