Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a screensaver?

Yes. However, a blank, static screensaver will provide the most efficient CPU and network bandwidth usage.

Security Guide

PCoIP requires a certificate to establish a session. The Graphics Agent for macOS generates a self-signed certificate that secures the PCoIP session. Each component in the Anyware system can generate these self-signed certificates, which will automatically work together without requiring any configuration.

The Graphics Agent for macOS does not support creating custom certificates.
