Is it possible to connect to have a two display to two display remote connection? I understand there may be a workaround with a double log in. Other than that, is it possible?

Hello David,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, the monitor mapping between Viewer's and Host's monitors cannot be done automatically yet, even though we already have this feature in our wish-list and it will be implemented in our future updates.

However, meanwhile the monitor mapping can also be done manually. Here's what you need to do in order to map your remote monitors to the local ones:
1. In your Viewer create a few different connections to the same remote Host, i.e. using the same IP address or Internet-ID code, but name them all differently, e.g. Monitor 1, Monitor 2, etc.
2. Disable the Tabbed view mode: in the main Viewer window navigate to the Tools tab and select Options, then navigate to the Remote screen tab and disable the Tabbed view checkbox.
3. Open all connections to the remote Host you've created on Step 1.
4. Select different monitors for each connection - this can be done by clicking the Remote monitors icon  on the Toolbar in the Full Control and View window.
5. Now you should be able to place the connection windows on the corresponding Viewer's monitors as preferred.

Hope that helps.
