PLEASE NOTE:  I have not been able to find any specific place where DoD civilians or Army Retirees can download ActivClient.  If you are a Civilian for a particular branch of the Military, visit the branch specific pages listed here.  Retirees would not have a CAC unless they are a DoD civilian, DA civilian or contractor.

 

Windows 10 users click here for information on how to use your CAC on your computer.

 

Windows 8 users click here for information on how to use your CAC on your computer.

 

 

WINDOWS 10, 8.1, 8, & 7 USERS: 

If your CAC is a "GEMALTO TOP DL GX4 144," "GEMALTO DLGX4-A 144," "GEMALTO DLGX4 128Kv2," "Oberthur ID One 128 v5.5 Dual," "Oberthur ID One v5.5a D," "G&D FIPS 201 SCE 3.2," or "G+D FIPS 201 SCE 7.0" you "may" be able to use your CAC without needing to install ActivClient.

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

 

Windows 7, 8 / 8.1, & 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.
