The Navy download sites below require you to login with your CAC

 

NAVY personnel have these options to get ActivClient (I wish it was easier for you to get the software):

 

1. Current Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) registered personnel can download ActivClient 6.2 by logging into NKO at the below link:  READ NOTE HERE FIRST:

https://wwwa.nko.navy.mil/portal/navressubmarine/home/SubmarineReserveHomePage 

Look at the right side of the page for a link to download ActivClient 6.2.  It points to the following file:

https://private.navyreserve.navy.mil/_layouts/ActivClient_6.2.zip     

I've been told this link may have changed to:  https://private.navyreserve.navy.mil/Lists/FileDownloads/download.aspx


NOTE:  If you do not have an NKO account, you will NOT be able to access the site to download the software.  If you  are a "current" member of the Department of the Navy, then you can create an NKO account and access the Naval Submarine Reserve page to download the software.

2. Navy Reserve personnel with installation questions and troubleshooting can contact:   

 

3.  Contact your Information Technology (IT) personnel to get the software.  The Command Information Assurance Manager (IAM) controls the licensing through the INFOSEC website. 

 

4.  Further questions can be sent to: 

 

Here are more options for you (if the above didn't work)

ActivClient 6.2 software update

Navy ONLY:  If you are still having problems getting your system to work, IE 8 only

 

If you are unsure whether you have 32 or 64 bit version of Windows, here is how to find out:

 

Windows 7 & Vista, Right click Computer, select Properties.  Under System, System type you will see 32 or 64-bit. 
XP, Right click My Computer, select Properties.  If it doesn't say 64 bit, you have a 32 bit Operating System.

 

You may purchase ActivClient 6.2 (Works with Windows 7, Vista, & XP)

 

How ActivClient works

 

INFORMATION FOR APPLEApple logoUSERS ONLY

 

 

Information for NAVY personnel using Apple Computers:  NROWS will not continue to the login page if it identifies your browser as non-compatible.  This is easily fixed by having Safari report it "is" IE.  Go to Safari->Preferences       ->Advanced and ensure the "Show develop menu" check box is ticked.  Now when you open NROWS and it gives the browser error, go to the Develop menu in the menu bar and select User Agent->Internet Explorer (any version 6.0 or greater) The "Unsupported" page will refresh, just hit the back button and voila, you're at the login screen.  This works from the Navy Reserve Web site, or directly to the URL:  https://nrows.sscno.nmci.navy.mil/nrows/

 

NOTE:  For whatever reason, in order to access some of the Navy CAC-enabled sites, you must CANCEL when it first asks for your PIN.  After canceling, you can then choose your certificate, and it will give you a second opportunity to enter your PIN.  At this point, the PIN must be entered.

 If you have questions or suggestions for this site, contact Michael J. Danberry
