Operating System Requirements

This dialog box lets you create a requirement based on the operating system required to run the application. Novell® Application LauncherTM/Explorer will not distribute the application to the workstation unless the requirement is met.

Show Application Icon Even If Criteria Are Not Met
Select True to display the application icon on the workstation regardless of whether or not the requirement is met. The icon will display in a disabled state if the requirement is not met. Users can right-click the disable application's icon, select Details, then select Requirements in order to see which requirements were not met. They can then perform any necessary upgrades to the workstation configuration to meet the application requirements.

IMPORTANT: With this option set to True, the application icon will be shown only if the operating system platform is the same as the one selected but the version does not meet the version requirement. For example, if you select Windows 95/98 as the platform and enter greater than or equal to 4.02.1998 as the version, the icon will not display on a Windows NT*/2000 workstation, will display in an active state on a Windows* 98 workstation running version 4.02.1998 or newer, and will display in a disabled state on a Windows 95 workstation or a Windows 98 workstation running version 4.01.1998 or older.

Platform Is
Select the operating system (Windows 95/98 or Windows NT/2000/XP) the workstation must be running.

Version
Select whether the version number must be less than, less than or equal to, equal to, greater than, greater than or equal to the number entered in the Version field. For example, if you want to require at least version 4.00.95, select Greater Than or Equal To and then enter 4.00.95 in the Version field.
