That link would take students to a website where they can then download Lockdown Browser. If you found a generic version of Lockdown Browser on the web, you wouldn't be able to use that version. After the installation, click the LockDown Browser icon on your Desktop. It will also be installed on your Start Menu All Programs under the Respondus folder.
