- Ensure your computer is cloud managed: at the time of writing, not all Windows computers are cloud managed with the Company Portal. To check, look for the Company Portal app in your Start menu.
- Ensure you are the primary user of the computer: you cannot install software on a computer unless you are the primary user of your machine. If you are not the primary user, the Company Portal will display a message that says "This device is already assigned to someone else in your organization." In general, if you are a full-time faculty or staff member, and you are using your assigned machine, you will be the primary user of that machine. Machines in computer labs are always shared use and have no primary user.
