Establishing a PCoIP session involves a number of key components, including system actors, PCoIP session phases, and connection brokers as discussed next.
There are at least three components that work together to create a PCoIP session:
The SDK package comes with a sample command line pre-session client called the Broker Client example, which calls the included broker client libraries and establishes a PCoIP connection. The Broker Client API example demonstrates the success path for establishing new PCoIP sessions.

The Anyware Client for macOS 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.
Locally terminated Wacom tablets are much more responsive and tolerate low latency connections.
The following PCoIP session features can be customized:
Examples show command-line usage
PCoIP-compatible brokers are resource managers that authenticate users and dynamically assign authorized host agents to Anyware clients based on the identity of the user. Anyware clients can connect to Anyware agents using a PCoIP-compatible broker, called a brokered connection, or directly, called a non-brokered or direct connection. The broker c

client, you can pass additional session client parameters by enclosing them in double
quotes.
If you need to support more than 20 USB devices, or if you expect your users to control which devices can be bridged, they can be manually added by opening the client’s USB Devices menu and enabling them.
The steps indicated below are used and documented in the bundled sample code. Refer to the code for specific function calls, expected return values and error-handling requirements. The example C++ code can be found in the SDK package located here:
You can use the Anyware Client in full-screen or windowed mode. Full-screen mode is recommended in most cases.
The Anyware Client provides two full-screen modes: one monitor and all monitors.
In addition to English, the Anyware Client also supports these languages: Chinese (Simplified), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Europe), Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. During installation, you can select one of the supported languages.
