ODEON Remote Desktop
If you need to work with ODEON from different locations, the Remote Desktop add-on allows you to run the software on a dedicated host PC and access it remotely over the internet from a client PC.
The setup is based on a physical dongle connected to a (host) PC where ODEON is installed and running. This PC is then accessed via Windows Remote Desktop.
The Remote Desktop add-on can be used with any ODEON physical license and is priced at the equivalent of two extra standard licenses (see the price list for details). Without this add-on, ODEON licenses are limited to local use on the PC where the software is installed.
Remote Desktop vs Extra standard licenses
Choosing between Remote Desktop functionality and Extra licenses depends on how your team uses ODEON – whether you need fewer users working remotely or multiple users working simultaneously.
The Remote Desktop add-on is ideal for:
- Accessing and operating ODEON from another computer over the internet (requires a stable connection)
- Avoiding the need to transfer a physical ODEON dongle between locations
- Allowing multiple users to access the software (one at a time)
- Performing measurements remotely using the audio input/output of the accessing PC (set as system default)
Best for: working from different locations on the same workstation.
The Extra standard licenses are ideal for:
- Using ODEON in any location, including offline environments, for both simulations and measurements
- Allowing multiple users to work independently and simultaneously
- Performing measurements in locations with limited or no internet access (e.g. performance venues)
Best for: offline locations and parallel work.
Best of both worlds
Remote Desktop functionality can be added to any First or Extra license at any time. For larger organizations, enabling Remote Desktop on some of your dongles can significantly increase flexibility in how your team accesses ODEON.
NOTE: Any ODEON license (First, Extra and Remote Desktop) is strictly connected to the country where it is registered. If a company holds offices in multiple countries, a new First license is needed for each country where the legal registration address exists. Please read more in the End User License Agreement in the ODEON manual.
