I think there is some confusion here.  I think you are talking about 
the low-cost SPE, which runs a really cut-down OS.  I don't think any 
of this applies to the SP5.

We have been told by the Leica rep here that we may put no program on the SP5 computer -- not ImageJ, not Winzip, nothing. We were also told that the computer may not be connected to the network, except when they want to do service.
To more exact, we were told that if we want anything on the machine, we need to ask Leica to do it (and to pay for it to be done).


Is this how all  the SP5 users out there are using their systems?

Aside from the obvious  reasons that this policy bothers us, we have a problem because the IT  people in the university will not permit a computer to be connected to the network unless they have installed their approved anti-virus program personally.

If the issue is delicate, perhaps you may prefer to reply off list.
