Important Notes and Requirements

  • The SDK is intended for customers with software development skills and knowledge, as well as a sound understanding of virtualization systems.

Release Overview

The PCoIP Client Software Development Kit (SDK) is a set of libraries and binaries provided to Teradici Cloud Access Software customers who require the ability to customize and build a PCoIP client.

With control over how the PCoIP client is built, you can:

  • Build clients that conform to your company style and branding guides.
  • Build clients that adapt to customized workflows (for example, embed a PCoIP session into a software solution).

PCoIP Client SDK 21.07 introduces new fixes and updates to the previous release. This article provides a summary of key additions, compatibility notes, resolved issues, and known issues for this release.

To build additional functionality, such as extended peripheral support, you can utilize the Teradici PCoIP Virtual Channel SDK.
