Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

I've just checked on this with our developers - unfortunately, the latest update for RU Server does not include such fixes since the issue can only be fixed by installing the Desktop Experience (GUI). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Hello Jack,

Thank you for your message.

I watched a video that shows a License Tab just after the "LOG" tab on the Remote Server Configuration which my version does not have.

Please note that the RU Server's registration is required starting version 3.1 of RU Server, so the License tab was only added to the Server's Configuration window in version 3.1. For more information please see our Release Notes.

No where on RU website or documentation can I find a reference as to how to get a RU Server license. This upgrade post is as close as I have been able to come to it. So how do I get this server license? I would like to have it before trying the upgrade.

You don't need to get a separate license key for the RU Server since it's registered with the same license key as your Viewer - you can simply add the same key.rlicense file that was used for registering Viewer on the Server's Configuration window -> License tab. Here's also a guide on registering RU Server just in case.

Hope that helps.

Hello Peter,

Thank you for updating us on this.

Could you please let us know if you have both Host and Viewer updated to the latest version 7.1.2.0? Please make sure that there's no version mismatch between Host and Viewer as it might lead to performance issues or even some features not working.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your message.

Currently we hope that to release Host/Agent for Mac and Linux OSs within the first half of this year. However, please note that this ETA is only approximate since Host/Agent for Mac/Linux are still in development.
We'll do our best to make Host/Agent for Mac/Linux available for our users as soon as possible as it is among our highest priorities.

Hope that helps.

Hello Dave,

We're sorry to see you go. Please note that the notification banner's purpose is to only increase the user's awareness that someone is connecting to their computer. The banner is also not displayed for Direct connections or for commercial license users.
You can also see other security enhancements we've implemented in the most recent updates on our Release Notes page.

Hope that helps.

Hello Dax,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, we couldn't reproduce the issue - when updating Host installed in a custom directory, everything works as expected, including the Host service's restart. Perhaps, something else might have caused the issue. Could you please provide us with the following information in order to further troubleshoot the issue:
1. Windows System Events Log.
2. Host settings registry key.
3. Host log files.
4. Host installation log. You can find it in the following folder: C:\ProgramData\Remote Utilities\install.log.
You can send the files to support@remoteutilities.com.

I did a search for rutview.exe and found it had been installed into the default location, not the original location I had specified at time of original installation.

I will make sure to forward this to our developers and ask them to take a look at the issue, so that we can fix it in the upcoming updates. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Dave and Christopher,

Thank you for your feedback.

We understand everyone's frustration. However, we had to introduce such strict measures due to the antivirus software companies and spam-fighting organizations (e.g. Spamhaus) are getting increasingly intolerant of remote desktop software. Therefore, we want to make it more difficult to use the "out-of-the-box" software version and free license for illegal activity.
As for the "movable" banner - unfortunately, if legit users will be able to move it, the ones who use it for illegal activity will be able to move it as well. Please note that the banner/message is transparent and can be clicked through, i.e. it doesn't affect the ability to select menus, click buttons, etc., just like the Windows warning about activation.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello Douglas,

Thank you for the clarification.

I will forward the issue to our developers and we will try to reproduce the issue.

I will keep you updated on the issue.

Hello Douglas,

I'm glad to hear you've figured out the issue.

Could you please let us know the file extension and the approximate size of the files that you're transferring? I'll check on this with our developers and we will try to reproduce the issue in our environment to see if there's something we can do to fix this.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Christopher,

Thank you for your message.

The connection alert window cannot be disabled in the free or trial version of the program. Please note that the connection alert window is not displayed when you use Direct connection. Sorry if this makes our software less useful for you, we had to add this notification was added for security reasons.

Please let us know if you have other questions.
