Anyware Software Client for macOS

Welcome to the Software Client for macOS Administrators' Guide.

Anyware Software Clients are applications that establish PCoIP sessions with remote Windows, Linux, or macOS desktops. Connections can be made to Anyware agents installed on virtual or physical machines, or to Remote Workstation Cards in physical workstations.

Mission Control in PCoIP Sessions

macOS provides a number of methods for activating Mission Control. Some of these methods are reserved by the Software Client for macOS to allow local use of Mission Control, and others are forwarded to the remote desktop, where the remote macOS system can use them.

Display Modes

When you connect to a PCoIP session, the Software Client for macOS shows your remote desktop as one or more displays. The number of displays it shows is constrained by your local system's available monitors (and the PCoIP protocol itself, which supports up to four monitors).

The following section outlines how to reset a saved desktop in the Anyware Client. You can reset to a virtual desktop by following the steps outlined below:

1. Click the configure button and select Edit from the popup menu.

2. Click NEXT on the initial saved connection screen.

3. Enter your access credentials and click SAVE.

A/V Lock

PCoIP Ultra A/V Lock provides improved video playback, reducing the difference in delays between the audio and video channels and smoothing frame playback on the client. This feature introduces a small lag in user interaction responsiveness when enabled. When audio is playing, the video frames will be delayed to align with the audio soundtrack.

Sending a Ctrl-Alt-Del Command

To send the Ctrl-Alt-Del keyboard command to a remote workstation, select the Connection > Send CTRL-ALT-DEL menu option.
