Question about 10 PC limit for free license

At https://www.remoteutilities.com/buy/licensing/free-license.php , it states that when using the free license, "The number of remote PCs you can control is limited to 10." It is a little unclear precisely what this means, but in practice, it appears to mean that someone is limited to no more than 10 entries in the viewer's address book.

Yes, that's right. We'll update the description on that page then.

However, I want the ability to control more than 10 systems, just not all at the same time. The way the free license works allows for this. Nevertheless, regardless of how the free license is implemented in the viewer, I'd like to make sure that I'm honoring the terms of the license if I use it with more than 10 host systems. If the free license isn't truly suitable for my usage model, then I'll go with one of the pay license options.

Thank you. No problem you using the free license. It's just a  matter of convenience. Indeed, if you have many remote PCs in your address book, it might be suboptimal to stick with the free license and constantly create and delete records in the address book.

Hi Aaron,

Actually, the legacy capture mode setting is supposed to be used as a fix for exactly such issues. As it turned out, Windows 10 exhibits the same behavior in this respect as it was in Windows 8/8.1.

To all of you guys - we found a way how to add a digital signature to custom configured installers without "going online" with our MSI configurator. So we'll soon implement this feature and any installer, including custom ones, will be signed with our digital signature.

Hello Bob,

There is currently no idle check in the program. However, you can use another solution. Enable the Ask User permission feature and set Auto-alow on timeout. If the user is there they can access or reject your remote connection request. If there are not there, you'll still be able to connect after a specified time.

Hope that helps.

Hi Jim,

Thank you for taking the time to record this video. Is it possible that I connect to your PC and test it from our iOS devices here? We could test both iPhone and iPad.

If yes, please contact me using the email address support[at]remote-utilities.com and send connection credentials - ID and password.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Jim,

Thank you for your message.

Just tried to use this gesture on an iPhone 5s with iOS 9.2 installed, all works as it should. Here's the sequence:

1. Highlight the text that you want to copy.
2. Long tap on the text until the menu appears.

Let me know if that works out for you. If it doesn't , then please let me know what OS and application is on the remote side (i.e. on the Host PC).

Hello Thom,

If User 1 disconnects with the option "Lock workstation on disconnect" enabled, the remote desktop will be locked. User 2 won't be able to get access to it without knowing User 1 Windows password.

But I do agree with you that an additional option like "Log off Windows user on disconnect" instead of just locking could also be helpful. I will hand this suggestion over to our developers.

Thanks.
