3. Licensing the Agent

Licensing The Graphics Agent for Windows

The Graphics 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.

2. Installing the Agent

Installing the Anyware Agent

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.
