Teamviewer will monitor how often you use the free version, and suddenly deny access. They keep updating their system and if your client has a different version to yours, it will not allow access. And the professional version is pricy. I have used it to assist clients in different parts of the world.
Dave Crozier recently mentioned Splashtop. It has a certain number of limitations and I found the only real good point was the price. I would have to say that you "get what you paid for" and Teamviewer is unbeatable. They also have a small host (V 7) which I distribute with my software Then, when they call for help, I check if they have Teamviewer installed. If so, I kill it Then my system calls this small host and I'm in ! On Tue, Dec 2, 2014 at 9:11 AM, Paul McNett <p...@mcnettware.com> wrote: > If the client has an existing VPN, ask to get access.
