I received the notification of version 7.0 being available today and upgraded my portable client and the hosts.  I've noticed three issues I haven't resolved yet and would appreciate any advice:

1.  I used to use Fullscreen Stretch which used to bring the screen up filling my screen and very readable.  However, on 7.0 most of my clients will come up with a very small screen if I log in.  I've been able to make it fullscreen stretch by either switching the view mode out and back into the setting or minimizing the window and then clicking on the icon to bring it back to the desktop.  However, I then noticed quite a bit of lost connections which is my next issue.

2.  All my connections except one are on my local network which is gigabit ethernet and I have a gigabit internet connection.  After connecting to a client I've experienced dropped connections.  The connection will reestablish but is disruptive.  It seemed to occur more often when using Fullscreen Stretch video mode.

3.  On an older Athlon with a separate video card the color has now degraded to what appears to be a lower resolution.  This did not occur prior to the update.  After an initial login and loss of connection, I reconnect to the login screen.  The color appears normal on the screen until I log in at which point it degrades again.

same issue here. an update to 7 was recommend. i was then required to install a license key. remote host updates were done to 7 also. -- now the remote connection is reset ever minute or so, it recovers in a few seconds but it is annoying.

Hello I have the issue with dropping connection too. Waiting for response from support (ticket opened). It's not possible to work with this problem.

After 7.0 upgrade out license changed to 1 free 10 user license and I changed it back to the paid license and it still shows a 10 user free version.

wow! this level of responsiveness and support on a free and fabulous product is unprecedented in my experience :)

Thanks, looking forward to the update.  

I did figure out the license issue others mention by accident - created an account and attempted to recover my key only to be informed one didn't exist so I requested one and received it.  The prior key was .txt.  I then found this page which notes it at the top as this was the first time for me to update hosts.  https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/docs/updating-remote-utilities/#Method_1:_Automatic  idk if something like this would happen again, but I'd suggest maybe a What's new Popup or link upon installation to essential information.  If there was one, I missed it.
