Anyware Trust Center Features¶
The Anyware Trust Center supports a number of endpoint management settings and capabilities, some of which are constrained by your subscription level. The available features and support level are described next.
About Licensing and Subscription Tiers¶
Most Anyware Trust Center functionality requires a subscription. Basic functionality is available for free for users who have small deployments, or who are testing proof-of-concept scenarios.
New Trusted Zero Client devices ship with a 12-month free subscription.

Endpoint Under Management¶
The Anyware Trust Center can manage a large number of endpoint devices. The specific number of supported endpoints supported depends on your subscription tier, as noted above. The free tier, which does not require a subscription, is limited to 50 devices.
Endpoint Auto-Discovery and Configuration¶
When a new Trusted Zero Client connects to the Anyware Trust Center, it will automatically register and configure it according to policies established in your EMS software.
Endpoint Monitoring¶
The Anyware Trust Center supports status monitoring of all devices in your deployment, which can be used to display dashboards and other relevant management information in your Endpoint Manager.
Device Logging¶
The Anyware Trust Center can access logs for all of its managed Trusted Zero Clients, allowing administrators to troubleshoot deployment problems and monitor unusual activity.
Endpoint Power Management¶
The Anyware Trust Center can shut down or restart the endpoint devices it manages.
Endpoint Factory Reset¶
The Anyware Trust Center can reset any endpoint to factory defaults.
After a factory reset, the endpoint must re-register with the Trust Center. If it is on the same network as the Trust Center, and if the discovery DNS record is created, this will happen automatically when the device boots up. Otherwise, you will be prompted for the FQDN of the Trust Center.
Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates¶
The Anyware Trust Center can retrieve device software updates and deploy them to its endpoints automatically. Updates can be configured to install immediately, on a schedule, or by prompting the end user.
Set USB Usage Policies¶
USB policies can be set for each Trusted Zero Client that the Anyware Trust Center manages. Note that USB policies can also be set on remote PCoIP agents; USB devices must be allowed by both the Anyware Trust Center and the PCoIP agent. PCoIP agents, by default, permit all supported USB access.
Anyware Trust Center Management¶
Feature | Free tier | Subscriber |
---|---|---|
Concurrent Anyware Trust Center user access | — | Yes |
PKI Support | — | Yes |
Configure trusted connections | — | Yes |
Concurrent User Access¶
Any number of users can access the Anyware Trust Center via your EMS software at once.
PKI Support¶
The primary PKI is an internal Hashicorp Vault instance in the Anyware Trust Center. You can provide an issuing CA cert and key to the internal Vault, which allows the root of Trust to come from your existing PKI.
Configure Trusted Connections¶
Trusted connections can be configured on the Anyware Trust Center. When configured this way, the Trusted Zero Client devices registered with the Anyware Trust Center will not be able to set their own connections, and must use the connections configured.
