MacOS SPS Installation
SVLive Presence Service (SPS) is installed via a PKG on Mac OS X. An instance of the application is started automatically when a user logs in and closes when the user logs out. If multiple users are logged into the Mac, each user will have a separate instance of SVLive Presence Service running.
SPS must be installed on all Mac OS machines in the organization, where the Corporate Real Estate team expects utilization data to be collected.
