Bizagi Studio Portable edition

Overview

In some high security environments, software installation is not permitted due to internal policies; for example, some large enterprises do not allow employees to install software on their computers, thus employees do not have administrative rights. Bizagi offers a portable edition which lets users run Bizagi Studio without the need of having administrative rights.

 

Bizagi Studio portable Drive avoids the installation of Bizagi components such as the Standard Server Operation Service, Connector Service, IIS, Scheduler and a Database.
