===Natively (Windows or OS X)===
To run on Windows, the software requires administrative privileges. Previous versions were shown to have used Internet Explorer with certain modifications
executed on the fly, to add the "Lock Down" features, however it currently appears to be a stand-alone browser with some resemblance to Google's Chrome. On both OS X and Windows, it is based off of the open-source Chromium<ref>http://respondus.com/products/lockdown-browser/requirements.shtml</ref>, although previous OS X versions arebelieved to have piggybacked off of Safari features. On Windows, the running user must have administrative privileges to run the student edition, however administrative privileges are not necessary to run the browser on OS X.
On Mac OS X, it requires that <em>The Safari browser must be configured to the minimum requirements for the Learning Management System being used</em>,<ref>http://respondus.com/products/lockdown-browser/requirements.shtml</ref>indicating that it piggybacks off of Safari features, and it mentions that administrative privileges are not necessary to run the browser, although they are required for installation and updates. A version for iOS (iPad-only) is also available, as well as a version for centrally managed Chromebooks for education (k-12).
