No launch icon after installing Host version

Hello Brian,

Thank you for the details.

This time, I have noticed that the Remote Utilities icon DOES appear in the Taskbar, BUT ONLY during the install process - as soon as the process finishes, the icon disappears from the Taskbar.

The Host icon is not visible in the taskbar when the Host is running. The Host icon is located in the system tray, near the clock:

I can't find any way to know what the Internet ID is, or how I can set it.

You can right-click on the Host icon in the system tray and select Internet-ID Connection Settings...:

Error while installing

Hello Levi,

I'm glad to hear we were able to help you!

Please do not hesitate to post another message if you have more questions.

Legacy capture mode - explanations ?

Hello Thomas,

Sorry for the late reply.

The difference between the legacy capture mode and the default mode is that different screen capture methods are used.

Hope that helps.

Mac support?

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for your message.

I am sorry that we keep you waiting, however, we do our best to release Remote Utilities for Mac as soon as possible. We plan to release the Host/Agent for Mac after the Viewer for Mac is released, which is hopefully due by the end of the year.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Hello Thomas,

The feature might be implemented in version 7 of Remote Utilities. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any specific ETA yet.

Free License not adding

Hello Jonathan,

Thank you for your message.

Perhaps, the Viewer configuration file was somehow corrupted by some antivirus or firewall software after the installation.

Please, try the following:
1. Fully exit the Viewer File -> Exit.
2. Locate the file config_4.xml in the C:\Users\[Your_username]\AppData\Roaming\Remote Utilities Files\ folder.
Please note that the AppData folder might be hidden by default in which case you need to enable "Hidden files and folders" in Windows Explorer settings.
3. Remove the config_4.xml file from that folder.
This will reset the Viewer settings. Your address books won't be affected by this action.
4. Run the Viewer and try registering it with your license key again.

Please let me know if the issue persists.

Delay on UAC pop up

Hello Ricardo,

Is there a quick way to lock/unlock Host input?

You can also invoke the Connection properties window by using hotkeys Ctrl+F12. Or you can customize the hotkey combination:
1. In Viewer window navigate to the tab Tools -> Options.
2. In the Options window switch to the Hotkeys tab.
3. Specify a custom hotkey:

I also checked with our developers on the UAC issue. Unfortunately, the delay you're encountering is expected behavior, as there are some specific factors of why the delay is required. We will try to reduce the delay in our future updates, but we cannot provide you any specific ETA yet.

I am sorry if this makes the program less useful for you.
