The CC-SG thick client allows you to connect to CC-SG by launching a Java Web Start application instead of running an applet through a web browser. The advantage of this is that the client can outperform the browser in terms of speed and efficiency. The CC-SG thick client provides the same functions as the Java-based Admin Client, a GUI for both administrative and access tasks, depending on your permissions. The minimum Java version required for running the thick client is 1.6.0.10.
