Check before installing

  • Using it for work requires a paid licence.

What it is

A program for operating another PC remotely. Its screen transfer is light, so it stays responsive on slow connections, and it can run from a single file without installation. Personal use is free; commercial use requires a paid licence.

When to pick this

For reaching your home PC or helping family. For work use without cost, the open-source RustDesk is the alternative.

Details

Runs without installing

The downloaded file works as-is — useful when the person you are helping cannot easily install software.

Connection ID

You give the other party a nine-digit address and they approve the connection. Never share that number with someone you do not know.

Commercial use

Using it for work makes it licensable. Keep using it free and the connection can be cut off once commercial use is detected.

After a reformat

The ID changes

A fresh install gets a new AnyDesk address for this PC. Tell anyone who connects to it the new address, and set the unattended-access password again.

On a work PC, licensing

Free for personal use, licensed for business, and sessions are cut once commercial use is detected. At work, use RustDesk or a company-licensed product.
