# Synchronizer Local Setup

Although******Panaya always recommends using our Online Risk Analysis and ICR Synchronizer,** certain circumstances may require the use of its Local Installation version.

**Why should you use a local Installation of the Panaya Risk Analysis and ICR Synchronizer?**

- Your organization does not allow users to download the Panaya Online **Risk Analysis and ICR Synchronizer**
- You are using Google Chrome, but you are not permitted to download a [ClickOnce extension](/v1/docs/which-internet-browsers-are-supported-by-panaya)
- [*.panaya.com was added to your whitelist/exceptions page](/v1/docs/please-contact-the-application-vendor-for-assistance-error-message), but security settings are preventing the Online Risk Analysis and ICR Synchronizer from working properly
- Your Citrix/VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) environment is preventing the Online Risk Analysis and ICR Synchronizer from working properly
- Your Citrix/VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) environment is being used by multiple Panaya users, requiring you to clear the Click-Once Cache folder repeatedly

**What are the downsides of using a local Installation of the Panaya Risk Analysis and ICR Synchronizer?**

- The tool will not be automatically updated
