Hello Ann,

Thank you for your message.

No need to re-install Remote Utilities. Simply add your new license key to the License Key Storage as described in this registration guide.
Before adding the new license key (the PRO one) please make sure to select the previous key (MINI) in "Available keys" list and then click Remove selected key - this way you'll be able to add the new one to the keys storage.

Hope that helps.

Fallback port on Host or Agent with RU server

Hello Ivan,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I will forward your feature request regarding the fallback port to our development department for a review to see if we can add it to our wishlist and implement in the future updates for Remote Utilities.

As for the fallback server - unfortunately, we do not plan to implement such functionality for now. The reason is that the effort and complexity of implementing such feature (the more complex a feature is the more likely it might fail) far exceeds potential gains. RU server is meant to be used under direct command of the user, so in case if the Server doesn't respond the user can simply restart it - whether it's the machine itself or the RU Server service and it'll be back up and running in a couple of minutes.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello Ivan,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, there is no fallback port functionality for Host/Agent in Remote Utilities when used with a self-hosted RU Server, since it's possible to set up a custom port value. In such cases we recommend setting up the value of the port that is opened and available right away, i.e. within the configuration process - this can be done on Step 4: Settings update by selecting the General and network settings checkbox under the Pre-configure radiobutton. In the invoked Host/Agent Settings window navigate to the Dashboard tab and set up the custom port in the Internet-ID Connection Settings. Sorry if this makes our software less useful for you.

Please let us know if you have other questions.
