Important:
Administrator permission is needed to install SEB in a computer. You cannot install it as standard user. Administrator permission is also needed to restart, stop, or start the SEB service in case it is interrupted. 

 It is the most recent of the supported versions of SEB that is downloadable from Inspera Assessment. Each institution can limit the versions of SEB that are allowed for exams.

Web Browsers

Inspera Assessment can also be used with a regular web browser. The two most recent, stable versions of the following web browsers are always supported:

  • Microsoft Edge
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Google Chrome
  • Apple Safari (for macOS X)

The most common browsers are on aggressive release schedules and therefore the most current version is not explicitly listed. We recommend that you install new versions of the browsers as they are released.

Note that this only defines the recommended browsers. Other browser versions and vendors that follow modern web standards can also be used.
