Runtimes and Clients

In Unwired Platform there is a difference between runtime and clients.

There are two parts to setting up a device as a client to Unwired Platform, depending on the device type and the application you require for your mobile environment:

Client software Description
Unwired client runtimes and applications Administrators must provision the Unwired client runtime files and application binaries along with the Afaria client if necessary.
Afaria clients Afaria clients are included with Afaria. Administrators must download and install one of these clients on the device if you want to provision devices with Afaria over-the-air (OTA); until then, administrators and developers can provision individual devices sequentially by cradling a mobile device and using the devices desktop manager.

The runtime and client files for your device type are located in this: <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\UnwiredPlatform\Servers\UnwiredServer\ClientAPI\. There are folders for each runtime and for Afaria client type. Install them files into the device's application folder.
