About F1000 and this document
The new F1000 provides tools for collaborative authoring, reference sharing, literature
discovery and annotation in the field of Life Sciences.
This document provides you with information about the user rights and server
connections the F1000 suite of tools will require/use on your network. In it we have
listed:
•The rights required to install our tools (a Browser extension and a Desktop extension
incorporating a Microsoft Word plugin)
•The ports used by our tools for communication (both with the other tools on the
users machine and our server)
•The installation location/s of our Desktop extension by Operating System
•Registry entries added by our tools (F1000 Desktop extension and the Internet
Explorer 11 Browser extension)
User rights required to install/uninstall F1000 tools
We have endeavoured to make the use of F1000 on the network of any institution
as simple as possible. Unfortunately, users who wish to use the Internet Explorer 11
Browser extension or the Mac Desktop extension require administrative rights to install
or uninstall the application on the machine in question. All other versions will not require
any rights above a normal network user. A complete list is included here for reference.
