Changing the Anyware Software Client Window Mode

You can use the Anyware Software Client in full-screen or windowed mode. Full-screen mode is recommended in most cases.

Calling USB Functions

Calling USB functions will fail unless the application a user uses for calling the functions is signed and the USB service trusts the application.

Signing the Client Application

The application must be signed in a way that is trusted by the OS. To check this:

Updating the Client USB Package

The Client USB package must be uninstalled before installing a new version.

To update the Client USB Package:

Using The Collaboration Broker Client Example

The sample Collaboration Broker Client demonstrates how the APIs can be used to customize and control the pre-session and session phases of the Collaboration connection. Invoking the Collaboration Broker Client API is a two-step procedure, where as a first step, the Collaboration Broker Client Example is built.

Using The Broker Client Example

Invoking the Broker Client API is a two-step procedure, where as a first step, the Broker Client Example is built. The second step consists of running either a prebuilt PCoIP binary, or a prebuilt AWS binary.

Supporting USB Devices

Transferring non-HID USB devices from the client to the host is called bridging. Both the Anyware agent on the host machine and the Anyware client must enable bridging before devices can be transferred. By default, Windows Anyware agents allow bridging of all USB devices.

Setting Up the Development Environment

Once you have successfully established a session between a Anyware Software Client and a PCoIP host, you can start developing your own Anyware client. To begin, set up your client development environment, as discussed next.

To set up your client development environment:

Setting Up a Anyware Agent Test Environment

Before developing your custom client, you should set up a working Anyware system. HP recommends establishing a small proof-of-concept system for custom client testing, consisting of a host machine with an installed Anyware agent.
