2. Licensing the Agent

Licensing The Standard Agent for Windows

The Standard Agent for Windows must be assigned a valid PCoIP session license before it will work. Until you've registered it, you can't connect to the desktop using a Anyware client.

You receive a registration code when you purchase a pool of licenses from HP. Each registration code can be used multiple times; each use consumes one license in its pool.

1. Download and Install the Agent

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.

Webcams

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 Tablets

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 Overview

USB Support

Tangent Panels

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).

Enabling Smart Card Authentication Using Tera2 Zero Clients

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.
