These instructions assume you have already built the remote desktop machine, and that the machine meets the agent's requirements.

Licensing the Agent

The Graphics Agent for Linux must be assigned a valid PCoIP session license before it will work. Until you've registered it, you can't connect to the desktop using a Anyware client.

You receive a registration code when you purchase a pool of licenses from HP. Each registration code can be used multiple times; each use consumes one license in its pool.
