System Requirements¶

Before installing the PCoIP Host Software, ensure your PC or workstation meets the following requirements:

• PCoIP Remote Workstation Card and zero client are pre-installed with a compatible firmware release (see the Firmware Compatibility Matrix).

• The Host Driver Function is enabled on the PCoIP Remote Workstation Card (see Enabling Host Driver Function).

• Supported operating systems:

  • Windows 7 64-bit

  • Windows 10 64-bit

Soft Client Restrictions¶

PCoIP sessions between soft clients and PC/workstations with a PCoIP Remote Workstation Card are now supported.

Requirements for these connections:

• PCoIP Remote Workstation Card running firmware release 3.3.0 or later.

• PCoIP Host Software for Windows release 3.3.20 or later installed on the PC/workstation.

• VMware View soft client release 4.6 or later.

• PCoIP Software Clients release 1.0 or later.

• The local cursor and keyboard feature must be enabled. If the local cursor and keyboard feature is not enabled, mouse and keyboard input from the soft client is not sent to the PC/workstation.

PCoIP Host Software imposes some limitations to prevent users from getting their system into a state where the keyboard and mouse do not work.

The restrictions are:

• Users should not try to install the PCoIP Host Software while connected to the PC/workstation from a soft client. For details, see Installing the PCoIP Host Software for Windows.

• Users cannot disable the local cursor feature on the Login screen. This restriction affects both zero client and soft client connections.

• This prevents zero client users from disabling the local cursor at the Login screen, which would later prevent a soft client user from logging into the machine.

• Users cannot disable the local cursor feature while connected to the PC/workstation from a soft client.
