5. Host Types

PC-Duo Host runs as a Windows service on the machine on which it is installed, and supports both peer-to-peer connections as well as Gateway-managed connections.  By installing PC-Duo Host on a computer in your network, you can:
 
u Allow technicians to make peer-to-peer remote control connections to the machine, whether someone is there or not.  Each Host manages its own security settings and access rights.
u Allow or force technicians to make Gateway-managed remote support connections to the machine through a central server (PC-Duo Gateway), which will automatically enforce security settings and access rights according to policies set at the server.
 
The PC-Duo Host requires a Host license key to run beyond 14 days.
