Perceptive Content (ImageNow): Installing the Software

This guide covers the steps for installing the Perceptive Content software on a UW-Eau Claire Windows computer. All UW-Eau Claire faculty and staff can install Perceptive Content on their office computers. Student employees may need their supervisors to perform this installation for them. To have Perceptive Content installed in a computer lab or other specialty computer, please contact the LTS Help Desk.
