VNC User Guide - RealVNC

About This Guide
Intended audience
There is no such thing as a typical RealVNC user or remote control session. This Guide therefore has more
than one audience in mind:
• Chapter 1 is a general introduction to remote control, intended for everybody.
• Chapters 2 through 5 are intended for users who want to connect to and control a remote computer.
• Chapters 6 and 7 are intended for users who want to set up the remote computer to be controlled.
This Guide is intended to be operating system-agnostic, as far as possible. Information related to specific
operating systems is clearly marked.
Conventions
Screen captures are of Windows 7 unless otherwise stated. Dialogs and other artifacts may appear different
under UNIX/Linux and Mac OS X, or versions of Windows with different themes, but the principle is the
same.
Technical Support
You can contact Technical Support if you have a valid support and upgrades contract to use VNC Server
(Enterprise) or VNC Server (Personal). To see whether this is the case, examine the Details section of the
VNC Server dialog, or run the command vnclicense -list.
