Anyware Standard Agent for Windows Installation Guide

Before you proceed with installation, a few prerequisites must be met.

Download the Standard Agent for Windows Installer

The Anyware Agent installs at the system level and is available to all users. You must have administrator privileges to install it. You can download the installer directly onto the machine, or download it separately and transfer it yourself.

Supported Xencelabs Pen Displays

Xencelabs Pen Displays are supported in the locally terminated mode, where peripheral data is processed locally at the Software Client. It is also supported in the bridged mode, where peripheral data is sent to the desktop for processing.

Support is available when a connection is initiated from any Client to a Windows Graphics or Standard agent.

Webcam Support

USB webcams are supported between the Standard Agent for Windows and Anyware Software Clients for Windows or Linux. Webcams can be used with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and other conferencing applications running on the remote desktop.

Wacom Tablet Support

The Standard Agent for Windows supports Wacom tablets in two configurations: bridged, where peripheral data is sent to the desktop for processing, and locally terminated, where peripheral data is processed locally at the Anyware client.

USB Support

Anyware agents support USB devices attached to Anyware clients. Administrators can set rules governing allowed and disallowed devices, device classes, or device protocols. 

Tangent Panel Support

The following Tangent panels are supported when connecting from a Windows or Linux software client to a Windows or Linux agent (both 23.04 or higher).

Smart Cards, such as PIV cards, may be used to authenticate to your PCoIP Session. Smart Card support requires a Anyware agent and a Anyware Tera2 Zero Client for direct (unbrokered) connections. For brokered connections, a Connection Manager & Security Gateway and a Leostream broker are also required, in addition to the Anyware agent and Anyware Tera2 Zero Client.

Enabling Smart Card Authentication Using Linux Clients

Smart card authentication is supported while connecting from Linux Clients to Windows agents. The following section contains information on system requirements, limitations, agent setup, and client setup.

Printing Support

The Standard Agent for Windows supports printing from local printers connected to Anyware clients. Similarly, printing from USB printers that are connected by means of the USB Bridging feature is also supported. Additionally, an agent can issue print jobs on printers connected to its local area network.

Refer to the following table for local printing support.
