Viewer

Viewer is a single "command center" where you keep your address book and start a remote session using the available connection modes. Also, Viewer offers several built-in tools such as Remote Install, MSI Configurator, Scan for Hosts, Address Book Manager and License Key Storage that help you manage your remote inventory.

Viewer runs in a trial mode for 30 days. To use the software beyond the trial period, a valid license is required. Learn how to register Viewer with a license key.
