Mike, Question: If we buy the VNC version that is advertised as more secure, will it really be more secure? Yes. Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list

The viewer for the Enterprise and Personal editions is freely available. Just download the trial version of Enterprise and keep the viewer. That's what I have done and I have not paid for it. I use it with both old and new (free and paid) versions of the server and it works great. Go here... http://www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi ...click Proceed to Downloads (you don't have to enter Your Details everytime). Note that the first few entries on the next page require licenses (those are the servers) but the *viewer* do not require licenses. There are versions for Windows, Solaris 7, HP/UX, and Linux. I'm not sure of how the Windows Enterprise Edition Viewer differs from the Windows Personal Edition Viewer. I would guess that the Enterprise viewer works for both types of servers, but wouldn't mind hearing from the development team on that!

that will depend entirely on your security settings on the vnc server side. if you set the server side to require encryption, clients that don't support encryption (free edition) will fail to connect. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mbrown Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 12:21 To: vnc-list@realvnc.com Subject: VNC security, and can free VNC connect to paid VNC?

To be clear, the VNC viewer that uses encryption is free, but but you cannot use the older viewer. To answer the other question, yes, the secure versions of VNC use strong encryption and are secure.
