ScreenConnect definitely looks like a worthwhile option compared to TeamViewer. I just bought my TV 6 license 630 days ago and they want to give me a 4% discount on the new and "improved" TV 8. If I'm reading ScreenConnect's page correctly, I would get an 80% purchase credit had I bought their product within the same time period.
Does it have a similar functionality to TeamViewer's "Host" function? I'm quite often getting computers in, blowing them out, diagnosing them, and getting them up and to the OS, then installing TV host, and leaving for the day to do service calls and then I do almost everything else remotely so it's ready to go in the AM

At least, that's the way it used to work. The only reason I can think of nowadays for having to have specialized software is for punching through firewalls which may be the reasoning for it. If you're behind a NAT you obviously have a different IP address and may not have a port accessible through a router and the client as well. If they run the entire session directly through the server rather than the 2 programs directly it would require specialized software to handle real-time communications.
Now that I think about it, that's probably what they're doing which solves a lot of problems. Don't mind me. Not enough coffee today. lol
Yes that is what they typically do however I believe it is fairly standard to do its best to establish a direct connection to lighten server load first.
