RU server for local network
Hello Scott,
Thank you for your message.
Using RU Server within the local network only is actually possible - simply use the private IP address (192.168..) as the Server's address when setting up your Viewers/Hosts. You can see this case as an example in this guide on setting up RU Server - see the text in the yellow frame marked as "Important!".
Alternatively, you can also consider setting up your address book to upd ate automatically through a shared resource, for example Dropbox or OneDrive. This tutorial explains how to se t up address book sync via Dropbox or a network drive in a LAN.
Hope that helps.

Beta testing: Remote Utilities for macOS/Linux
Hello Amy,
Thank you for your message.
Please note that we've already updated Viewer for Mac/Linux and the latest version 1.0.10.q Beta 10 is available for download on this page.
Please note that the licensing in the latest version works the same way as in Viewer for Windows, i.e. you can use Viewer for Mac/Linux in trial mode for 30 days after which you need to register your Viewer with your license key as described in this tutorial. You can either use your existing license key that was already used to register Viewer for Windows or, in case if you don't have a license key yet, you can generate a free license key using this form.
Hope that helps.

Viewer Dual Monitor configuration
Hello Boris and Joseph,
Joseph, thank you for your input on this matter.
Just wanted to let you know that we have a similar feature in our wishlist that would allow Viewer to remember the position of some windows in the multi-monitor configuration. Unfortunately, we cannot provide a specific ETA on this feature yet, but we will definitely implement it in our future updates as well as some other improvements for the multi-monitor setups.
Please let us know if you have other questions.

Hello Dax,
Thank you for your message.
The rfusclient.exe process is a part of Remote Utilities installation and must be running for Remote Utilities to work correctly. For more information please see this page.
As for the error message - could you please try enabling the Use Legacy Capture mode feature in the Host Settings -> Other tab and see if it helps to resolve the issue? After enabling the feature please make sure to restart Host in order for the changes to be applied.
Please let us know if the issue persists.

Viewer Dual Monitor configuration
Hello Boris,
Thank you for your message.
Could you please clarify if you mean that you want Viewer to remember its position on your second monitor and automatically open the main Viewer window in the same region when run? If this is the case, unfortunately, there's no such feature available within Remote Utilities. Moreover, it seems like this feature is not supported by the Windows 10 itself. Perhaps, this can be done with some third-party software. Sorry for the inconvenience.
