Important installation notes on this release:

Install on any number of PCs: vSpace Client can be installed on any number of PCs, laptops or netbooks in your environment. Licensing: Use of vSpace Client is licensed through vSpace Client Access Licenses (vSCALs) which must be purchased for and installed on each vSpace Server you wish to access with vSpace Clients. Each vSCAL entitles you to make a concurrent connection to a specific server. Refer to the vSpace Client User Manual for instructions on loading the vSCAL keys via the vSpace Registration Wizard. Also, refer to the vSpace Client End User License Agreement (viewable during installation and available as an .RTF file in the NComputing vSpace Client installation directory) for details on your usage rights.

Microsoft Licensing server required: Microsoft RDS CALs (for Server 2008 R2) or WMS CALs (for Windows Multipoint Server) are also required to use the vSpace Server system in a multi-user configuration. You must also implement a Microsoft licensing server to enable connections. For more information on license requirements, see www.ncomputing.com/mslicensing and refer to the NComputing Knowledge Base for information on setting up a license server (search on licensing or go to: http://www.ncomputing.com/kb/How-to-Configure-a-RemoteDesktopLicensing-Server-for-vSpace-6_281.html).

Tips and Performance Recommendations:

Performance Profile setting: be sure to use the Management Console settings in vSpace Server and select the appropriate vSpace Client performance profile for your environment (high -speed network for LANs and low speed network for WAN) . Clipboard: vSpace Client supports a text clipboard and allows you to copy text from your local PC desktop and paste it into your session or vice-versa. USB devices: USB devices are only enumerated to your local PC and not to the vSpace session.

Errata Items:
Autoconnect to server running in VM if your vSpace Client is configured to auto-connect, it may not do so if your vSpace Server is running in a virtual machine. Check your VM network settings to ensure that UDP network requests are accepted. Video Streaming: If you overlay other windows on top of a streaming video, the information (text) in the overlaid window may become distorted. Whether or not this distortion occurs depends on the original resolution of the video source and whether the video is being scaled up on the desktop. Full screen Flash on some hardware platforms, running a Flash video in full screen mode may result in incomplete video. Please run in the native or windowed video resolution. WAN Logoff: when connected to a vSpace Server session over a long-distance WAN connection, you may find that the vSpace Client does not complete the log-off process. If you encounter this, select the disconnect option from the vSpace Client overlay menu at the top of the desktop

Audio synch on WiFi networks: when watching a video on a PC connected to a vSpace Server over a wireless network or when using a very low-powered client PC, audio and video may
