Reader Settings

During the installation of SafeNet Authentication Client, two virtual SafeNet eToken readers, two iKey readers, and one SafeNet eToken Virtual reader is installed.

The number of default SafeNet eToken readers or SafeNet eToken Virtual readers for a computer can be changed by a user with local administrator rights on that computer. The default number of iKey readers is set during installation and cannot be modified by the user after installation.
