license a limited number of times after the initial registration. If you exceed this limit you

Uninstalling vSpace

To uninstall the vSpace software, select Start>All Programs>NComputing vSpace>Uninstall.
Follow the prompts and the vSpace software will be removed from the host PC. You will be
prompted to restart the host PC to complete the process.

Client Access License (CAL) Installation

For multi-user applications, in addition to installing and activating the Windows Server operating
system license on the host PC, you need to acquire two types of client access licenses.

First, you need a standard Windows Server CAL for each user or device.

You also need to install a:

Remote Desktop Services CAL (RDS-CAL) when running on Windows Server

or

Windows MultiPoint Server CAL (WMS-CAL) when running on Windows MultiPoint

Server for each user or device accessing the system.

For Windows Server operating systems, you will need to add the Remote Desktop Licensing
Server role (provided with the operating system) to at least one host in your environment.

After you install the licensing server on a particular host:

You will use the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager application to activate the server

and add RDS CALs. Other hosts in your environment can then point to this license
server.

For Windows MultiPoint Server, the licensing server component is pre-installed and you

can simply use the MultiPoint Manager application to enter in your WMS CAL (instead of
using the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager, which does not accept WMS CALs).

For further details on setting up the license server and installing CALs, please refer to your
respective operating system documentation or refer to the article entitled:

How to Configure a

Remote Desktop Licensing Server for vSpace 6

in the NComputing Knowledge Base.

Additional Features

Auto-Login

NComputing vSpace software has a convenient auto-login feature popular in schools, kiosks or
digital-signage applications. When this option is enabled, once the host PC boots, each U170
station will automatically log in using the username and password defined for users under
Windows Server. Additionally, a launch application or script may be specified to run at login.
