About the Anyware Client SDK for Linux

The Client SDK for Linux does not ship with its own session client binary; it uses the standard Anyware Client for Linux binary instead. Therefore, you must first download and install the Anyware client application, and then invoke it from the SDK.

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.
