No. On Windows systems you can run the setup tool without having administrator privileges. On Unix systems simply extract the provided tar file. In order to install Avizo for all users of the system, Administrator privileges may be needed. However, on Sun and HP-UX it is recommended that you set the default visual of the X server to 24-bit true color. This may require root privileges. In addition, on some HP-UX systems it is recommended that you increase certain kernel parameters like process data size or stack limit. This requires root privileges as well.
