Anyware Software Client for Windows

Welcome to the Software Client for Windows Administrators' Guide.

Anyware Software Clients are applications that establish PCoIP sessions with remote Windows, Linux, or macOS desktops. Connections can be made to Anyware agents installed on virtual or physical machines, or to Remote Workstation Cards in physical workstations.

Using Displays

When you connect to a PCoIP session, the Software Client for Windows shows your remote desktop as one or more displays. The number of displays it shows is constrained by your local system's available monitors (and the PCoIP protocol itself, which supports up to four monitors).

Sending a Ctrl-Alt-Del Command

To send the Ctrl-Alt-Del keyboard command to a remote workstation, select the Connection > Send CTRL-ALT-DEL menu option.

Selecting Audio Devices in Session

While in session, you can select audio devices that will be forwarded to the agent. If more than one audio device is connected to the client machine, you can select up to two audio output devices, and one audio input device after a PCoIP session has been established.

Resetting a Desktop

The following section outlines how to reset a saved desktop in the Anyware Client.

1. Launch Anyware client.

2. From the Saved connections list, locate the desktop that you want to reset.

3. Hover over the desktop until the vertical ellipsis icon is revealed, and then click it.

Enhanced Audio and Video Synchronization

Enhanced Audio and Video Synchronization (AV Lock) provides improved full-screen video playback, reducing the difference in delays between the audio and video channels and smoothing frame playback on the client. This improves lip sync and reduces video frame drops for video playback.

Connecting USB Devices

Remote desktops can use USB devices that are attached to the client, using a process called redirection. USB devices are not automatically redirected to the remote desktop; they must be specifically connected to the session.

Configure Wacom Devices

This section outlines how to configure your Wacom tablet through the Anyware Client session. There are two available features within the Anyware Client that can be used to configure the monitor display and orientation. This only applies to locally terminated Wacom Tablets.
