Re: Licensing for ARD 2 Admin

Unlimited client is just that -- unlimited clients. However the admin can only legally be installed on one computer.

One work around discussed earlier today in fact, while not being sure if it is completely legal, was to install VNC server onto the one computer that has the admin, then access the one computer from different machines. This method is more than likely not legal in Apple's eyes.

Our more of a "legal work around" was to install the admin on a laptop that travels from building to the next (same site, just different buildings), but we really only have 3 people that may need access -- one definately full time the other two (myself included) only need access on rare occasions and have a grand total of 150 apple computers that run OS X or better.

We use a VNC viewer (Chicken of the VNC, for example) for other access as needed.

Hope that answers your question,

Manuel

Hi All,

Excuse my ignorance if this has been discussed and laid to rest but..Is my understanding that when purchasing the unlimited client license of ARD you may only use the admin software on one machine?

I have numerous teaching staff that are interested in using it but I want to make sure that the they can legally use it.

Cheers
