Key Known Limitations Products Platforms
Tera1 Tera2 Workstation VMware Horizon
The PCoIP Management Console cannot be used to configure the IPv6 Gateway Address field. Workaround: Enable and configure DHCPv6 or SLAAC to set this field or configure the field statically using the device Administrative Web Interface.

Known Issues
25466 - The combined file containing firmware 4.8.0 for Tera2 Zero Clients, with file suffix .pcoip, is not compatible with MC 1.10.2 or older. Workaround: To use this combined file upgrade to MC 1.10.3.
The Auto Power Off feature is supported in Tera2 zero clients only. The Profile setting wrongly indicates that it is supported in Tera1 and Tera2 zero clients.
32657 - Wake on LAN cannot be applied to the host card from a Profile setting. Workaround: use the AWI to change the Wake on LAN setting on a PCoIP host card.
32586 - Device labels not used as device names. If the option "use device labels as device names in the MC" is set to yes the device name displayed in the device tab will still use pcoip-portal-mac. Workaround: Move the device in question from one Group to another Group and the device label will show up.
28750 - Browser locks with an alert after Persistent AutoConfig has run. Workaround: refresh or shut down browser.
When using the Update tab to update firmware if you select a firmware version of the devices to update and it contains a "P" patch release number then no zero clients are displayed in the list of devices to update. Workaround: Select Group instead of Version Number.
35311. Vulnerability scan will find CVE-2015-3306 ProFTPD mod_copy as a critical vulnerability. Workaround: Disable ProFTPD mod_copy function see KB 2751.
