Pearson LockDown Browser Installation

The Pearson LockDown Browser is a separate application for PCs and Macs that has to be installed on computers where locked-down tests or quizzes are taken. Lab administrators need to install the LockDown Browser in campus computer labs. See the XL Player Installation Guide for information on how to access the executable files. Students working on their own machines will be prompted to install the LockDown Browser when they try to take a locked-down test or quiz.

To install on a PC:

1. From Browser Check, click the link to �install the Pearson LockDown Browser�.
2. Save the executable file to your local disk.
3. Double-click to run the executable setup and installation program.

To install on a Mac:

1. From Browser Check, click the link to �install the Pearson LockDown Browser�.
2. Save the install package folder to your desktop.
   
   IMPORTANT: If your Mac has FileVault installed, please save the package installer to /Users/Shared so that the lockdown browser will have the correct folder paths. If you see a �Configuration Alert� error message during installation, you should also move the installer package as described.

Using the Pearson Lockdown Browser

Before launching the Pearson LockDown Browser, be sure to exit all open programs�except for the XL MyLab you�re in. If there are any open applications, the lockdown browser will display a prompt and offer to close them for you.
