1. On your own device  (not within the D@UA session or on a UCL managed device), please download the latest version of Citrix Workspace App. 
2. Click on the download button, save the download file to a location you will remember e.g. the desktop. (You can delete it after the installation is complete)
3. Once downloaded, using file explorer or look on your desktop and locate “CitrixWorkspaceApp.exe”, right click on this file and if available select 'Run as administrator.'
4. During the install, accept the defaults. We also strongly suggest you accept the following option when it appears 'App Protection = Enabled.'

Please note: Between now and Christmas you will see some slight differences in the log-in screens. However, the desktop has not changed. Select the option 'Switch to Citrix Workspace now.'
