Android Horizon Client installation
Prerequisites
The VMware Horizon client will only work on Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or later. Any device purchased after 2014 is likely to be running this or a newer version.
The displayed screens may be slightly different for other versions of Android but the steps will be very similar.
Instructions
1. Open the Google Play store
2. Type vmware horizon to find the VMware Horizon client. Make sure you select the one with the green icon shown - VMware Horizon Client.
3. Click the application name and select Install
4. When the client is installed the icon will change to Open. Don't open the client, just open Chrome and go to https://flexit.auckland.ac.nz. You will be asked to login with your usual University details.
5. You may be prompted to enter Two-factor authentication. If you are, enter this using Google Authenticator on your phone or your Yubikey. If you are not prompted, just go to step 6.
6. Your username will already be displayed. Enter the same password you entered in step 4 and click Sign in.
7. You should now be logged in to FlexIT. Use the search bar to find the application you want to use, then click either the left hand button to bookmark the application for quick access next time, or click the right hand button to open the application.
Important information
Always access FlexIT via a web browser and going to flexit.auckland.ac.nz. Once you select an application or virtual desktop within FlexIT it will then use the Horizon client you have just installed to deliver an enhanced experience. Don’t try and access FlexIT directly from the Horizon client.
