Figure 23: Horizon Service
Horizon Agent: The Horizon Agent service is installed on each user desktop. Whenever a user tries to launch
a Horizon-enabled ThinApp package, the ThinApp runtime checks if the Agent is installed on the desktop. If
it is not installed, the Horizon Service automatically initiates Agent installation. The Horizon Agent checks
entitlement to launch the ThinApp package and allows the package to run if the user is entitled. Part of
Horizon Agent installation is the installation of the Horizon system tray object.
