Help with Remote Access tool

Answers to some issues you may have with the Remote Access Tool or applet.

I'm unable to install the software

Check with your firm's IT administrator. They may need to install the software or change your computer's security settings to allow the installation.

You can also try downloading the one-time support applet as an alternative. You can download this each time you are on the phone with Customer Support.

I can't download or open the one-time support applet

When you download the applet you may be asked 'Do you want to allow this application to make changes to your computer?'. Choose Yes, otherwise it won't download.

If you still can't download the applet, check with your IT administrator. They may need to change security settings to allow the download to complete.
