If you experience any difficulties during this installation, please see our section on Troubleshooting.

Before you start: If you generally need an administrator to help with installations on your device, then an administrator may be needed at steps 5-6.

Step 1: Begin by downloading the CARMIS client. Please click the following link: Client Installation File.

Step 2: This link will bring you to the below menu.

On this menu, click on Parallels Client (Windows) 64-bit Setup. You can find this option under Windows > MSI installers. If necessary, you can use the 32-bit Setup if you are using a 32-bit device.
