1. Click Finder, then click Applications.
2. In the Applications folder, click Self Service. 
   

Install a program

2. Look for the application you wish to install, then click the Install button for that item to start the installation.

Update managed applications

1. If there are updates available, Self Service will display a badge (number) next to Notifications. The number tells you how many pending updates are available for your Mac.

2. If you see a number, click Notifications to show a list of applications that have pending updates.

3. To update an application, click the Update button next to it. To install all available updates, click Update All. The update process make take a little time, and updating certain applications may require you to restart your Mac.
