Bitwise, there's a sizable discount for new accounts via ACRBO.

 

[bigdessert]

Any coupons for technibble users?

Not sure about technibble, but if you are a member or ACRBO you can get a discount.

Thanks guys, just bought it with the ACRBO discount!

How much is the ACRBO discount?

 

[BryanLee]

20% if the ACRBO website is accurate. Pretty good. I'm buying it as soon as he sends me my discount code.

 

[Xander]

6 weeks later ... he may have figured it out. Beyond that, wasn't really a matter of them giving me a "code" as it was me telling them that I was a member and them discounting the price.

 

[BryanLee]

I guess I missed the date on that last post. I'm only going by what the ACRBO website says. Although it was late, it was still a helpful reply. Not all are...

Email sales@screenconnect.com and tell them you are an ACRBO member for your discount code.

Management software

Does it come with any management software? To monitor drives, event viewers and such? similar to that of the GFI and TeamViewer combination?

No it doesn't, ScreenConnect is just for remote control of another computer. (PC, MAC or Linux), the same as Teamviewer without GFI.

I don't know of ANY remote support software that incorporates those features. Don't confuse remote support with remote monitoring.

Has anyone installed 3.1 yet? Is it any better at getting past Norton?

I tried asking on their forum but got ignored. I am at the stage where I would need to pay to get this update and I am unwilling to do so if Norton still blocks it.

Just download a trial and test it, if no one will answer you.

The one thing Norton blocks....

 

[Xander]

I still have enough incidences of the signed, stable versions getting blocked, lately by F-Secure and Avast. I'm sure as hell not trying out an unsigned beta.

Jeff,

A few days into the trial. Fairly impressed so far, but I noticed that there doesn't appear to be a reboot and reconnect option when connected to a Mac (non- .Net) client. Any plans to add such an option? (Or am I missing it?)

I can't promise anything, but more Mac support is one of our highest priorities now.

 

[krtechsolutions]

How about an unattended Linux client, for Ubuntu or Debian based would be sweet.

Jake,

Has reboot and reconnect for Mac (non .net) platforms been added to the road map or are the "highest priories" you refer to something else?

Thanks.

We're already introducing a lot in 3.2 with our OS X app bundle client.

Other stuff to be done soon is better control of multiple monitors from the OS X host client.

Reboot and reconnect is high up the list too, but I'm not sure when it'll make it in. It requires a whole infrastructure of multiple processes, services, etc.
