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. The device-platform client runtime files for native and workflow applications are located in: <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\ClientAPI\. |
| 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 device's desktop manager. |
