# Deep Freeze Mac Service

Deep Freeze Mac Service can only be installed on macOS computers. Once Deep Freeze is installed on a computer, any changes made to the computer–regardless of whether they are accidental or malicious–are never permanent.

{% hint style="info" %}
Only the Deep Freeze Mac Service can be installed on Mac computers. All other services cannot be installed on Mac computers.
{% endhint %}

To add Deep Freeze Mac to the Policy, go to *Add Policy > Deep Freeze Mac >* select *Enable (install and inherit settings from Faronics Default policy)* or *Enable (Install and use below settings)*. Selecting this option installs Deep Freeze Mac on all computers using this Policy.

{% hint style="info" %}
Selecting *Enable (install and inherit settings from Faronics Default policy)* or *Enable (Install and use below settings)* installs Deep Freeze Mac on the computers whenever the computers check-in. The computers check-in based on the heartbeat specified in [Cloud Agent Settings](/deep-freeze-cloud/using-deep-freeze-cloud-console/general-settings/cloud-agent-settings.md)*.*

* Enable (install and inherit settings from Faronics Default policy) – installs the service and inherits settings from the Faronics Default policy. Selecting this option saves time in configuring all the policy settings. Selecting this option makes the settings for the current policy read-only.
* Enable (Install and use below settings) – installs the service and uses custom settings. Selecting this option will allow you to customize the settings for this service in the current policy.
* Disable will not install the service or will uninstall the service from the computers whenever the computers check-in.
  {% endhint %}
