Managing Session Licenses Using the PCoIP Control Panel

You can use the PCoIP Control Panel to register a license, check the status of a license, and renew a license.

The PCoIP Control Panel can be opened using either of these methods:

Setting the Remote Workstation Card Agent Log Level

Each Anyware component is configured to log events. The amount of information captured can be configured by setting the log verbosity on a scale from 0 (least verbose) to 3 (most verbose). By default, the Remote Workstation Card Agent for Windows records log events at level 2.

Troubleshooting License Issues

The license troubleshooting utilities are included with the Remote Workstation Card Agent for Windows. These utilities allow you to validate your licenses and list license entitlements.

Unisntalling the Remote Workstation Card Agent for Windows

The Remote Workstation Card Agent for Windows can be uninstalled using the Windows Control panel, or by running the uninstall utility provided in the agent's installation directory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a screensaver?

Yes. However, a blank, static screensaver will provide the most efficient CPU and network bandwidth usage.

Configuring the Agent Certificate Mode

The Anyware Agent chooses a certificate based on the parameters set in the Configure PCoIP Security Certificate Settings GPO variable.

Since Anyware agents automatically generate and use self-signed certificates by default, you only need to configure the Configure PCoIP Security Certificate Settings GPO variable if you are deploying your own custom certificates.

Installing the Internal Root CA Certificate in a Anyware client

Your root CA certificate must be installed in any Anyware client that will be used to connect to the Anyware agent.

Installing the Private Key and Certificate on the Anyware agent Desktop

The agent certificate and signing certificate must be installed on each desktop running a Anyware agent.

To install the agent certificate and signing certificate:

1. Open the Microsoft Management Console on the agent machine:

Security Certificates in Anyware Agents

PCoIP requires a certificate to establish a session. By default, Anyware agents generate a self-signed certificate that secures the PCoIP session. Each component in the PCoIP system can generate these self-signed certificates, which will automatically work together without requiring any configuration.
