VCU Technology Services

While not a true alert, we think this is important enough to elevate to alert status. VCU Technology Services staff have posted a new SafeNet Wireless client for Microsoft Windows that is much easier to install than past versions. Where the old client would have trouble if another wireless client was already installed on a machine, this new client will first uninstall any clients it finds on the machine and then install the new SafeNet client.

Why care about the VCU SafeNet Wireless network? This service provides the VCU community with a safe, encrypted online experience that applies a higher level of security to wireless computing. The advantages of SafeNet Wireless doesn’t stop there. After the initial setup you are not required to log back in to the service every time you attach to the VCU SafeNet Wireless network. You will only be asked to sign back in to the service if your eID password has changed.

Use this link to download the client. Please contact the VCU helpIT Center (828-2227, helpIT@vcu.edu) with any questions about the installation process.
