Hello John,

Thank you for your message.

I'm glad to hear you were able to upgrade using our workaround.

Is there a way to keep both the ID and the password?

Yes, if you're upgrading your Host manually by running a vanilla Host installer downloaded from our website - this should keep all the previous setting intact and carry them over to the upgraded installation.
However, if you upgrade your Host using a custom installation package built via the MSI Configurator Tool, this will update the Host settings as well according to the ones that were specified during the configuration process. Especially, if the installation package had the Internet-ID related checkboxes enabled on Step 3 - Advanced options -> Internet-ID tab of the configuration.
So in case if you want to keep your current Host settings, such as Internet-ID code and password, you can:
1. Upgrade Host via the Simple Update method.
2. Upgrade manually via the vanilla Host installer.
3. Upgrade via the custom installation package that does not have Internet-ID or password related checkboxes enabled.

Hope that helps.

Hello Frederico and Russ,

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if you're trying to run an application on your Host machine via the Terminal connection mode? If this is the case, then when trying to run the application via the Terminal connection mode, please try selecting System as the "User context" (or if you already tried using System, please try selecting "Current user").
If you mean something else, please let us know.

Hope that helps.

Hello Werner,

Thank you for your message.

Please also try adding the folders to the exceptions/exclusion from the scan list as described on this page.
In case if some of the Remote Utilities files might have been deleted by Bitdefender, please also try checking the Quarantine and restoring the files from there, here's a guide on how you can do this.

In addition, thank you for submitting the false positive reports - hopefully, this will help to speed up the resolution of the issue since we've submitted the false positive reports to Bitdefender as well.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello Derry,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if you were trying to upgrade from version 6 of Remote Utilities or if you already use version 7? Am I right in assuming that the issue occurs when you try to update your Hosts manually by running the Host installation file on the remote machine?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

I see that you've already replied in our thread here dedicated to the upgrading of Remote Utilities to the latest version.

Please feel free to let us know if you have other questions.

If you are a free license user of version 6.x.x.x and didn't manage to upgrade in time before February, please follow the instructions below. You'll be able to upgrade your installations and continue using Remote Utilities for free.

1. Upgrade your Viewer to the latest version as described here.
2. Download this temporary license key and add it to your Viewer by following this registration guide. With this key you will regain access to your Hosts.
3. Update your remote Hosts via the Simple Update method.
4. Generate a new free license key using this form.
5. Remove the temporary license key from your license key storage and register your Viewer with the new free license key as described here.

Now you can continue using version 7 of Remote Utilities for free.

Please feel free to post your questions or feedback in the comments.

Hello Russ,

Thank you for your message.

Please make sure that you're using the latest version of Remote Utilities 7.1.2.0 which is available for download on this page. If you use version 6 of Remote Utilities, please note that access to our public Internet-ID servers was discontinued for version 6 of RU, and in order to continue using the Internet-ID connection method you need to update your RU installation to version 7. For more information please also see this page.
In addition, please note that the duplicated threads on the forum have been removed according to our forum rules. Please avoid creating multiple threads, as we always make sure to reply to our users. Thank you for your understanding.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification.

Unfortunately, the only way to see the Hosts that are connected to the RU Server and displayed in the Idle tab is only via GUI, i.e. in the RU Server's Admin Console. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Hello Mikael,

Thank you for letting us know.

We will immediately submit a False Positive report to Microsoft. Meanwhile, please also try adding the Host installation folder to the exception list as described here just in case. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if you have more questions.
