Unlimited Client vs 10 Client

So, does unlimited client mean that a company/school district can have the actual ARD program on an unlimited number of computers? Or does it mean that the ARD can "see" and control an unlimited number of computers?

Not using ARD. When being used for educational or business use, you (until such time as Apple changes the terms of the Mac App Store) must purchase one copy of ARD for each system on which you would want to install the ARD administrator application. ARD is volume-licensed in packs; for 40 users, you'd need two 25-user packs at $2499 per pack.
I don't know if there is any other software that would allow viewing multiple screens at once that would also be less expensive. Casper from JAMF has a remote control feature, but I don't know if it allows viewing multiple screens and if so if it would be cheaper than ARD.
Perhaps a different approach would be to lock down the browsers. If you are using any of the CMS such as Blackboard or Moodle, Respondus Lockdown Browser might be worth considering. There may also be standalone ways to lock a browser from a central point (it can be done via ARD's command line, sort of, but I'm not sure I'd trust it in a testing environment).
Regards.

  • Logins being denied on 10.4.11 Server with unlimited clients.

    I have a eMac running 10.4.11 Server with unlimited clients. This server is throwing people off the shares or denying them access, reporting that the number of shares has been exceeded despite it being an unlimited licence product. The licence information confirms that it is an unlimited licence. Restarting the server will remedy the problem for a while but is obviously impracticable. Can anyone please give me some help to remedy this problem?
    Thanks, Rob

    I am having a similar problem.
    I just updated clients to Leopard.
    Xserve is still running Tiger.
    Now clients cannot search files on the server.
    Apple support said Tiger clients used "cat search" instead of spotlight.
    Now that clients are Leopard, clients try to search with spotlight,
    but Tiger Server cannot search with spotlight.
    He suggested looking for a 3rd party cat search for Leopard clients.
    Any suggestions?

  • Time machine slow in leopard server unlimited client

    I installed today the leopard server unlimited client,
    The time machine is in "preparing".. and it keepts preparing....
    the backup drive is another internal drive.
    1)it seems that it has taken a lot of time to backup an operating system disk!
    2)maybe I am stupid, but 20 years ago, the scientific computers had versions for file. with that you could avoid all that "time machine" stuff and delays and need to backups.. with versions and an array you get the time machine instantly!.. with out of this waste of hours-time waiting for the " newest time machine".
    .. 20 years after, an a bad solution is the top of the mac marketing???
    i hope tomorrow the time machine could show more than a "preparing" window...

    Are you backing-up the clients, or the server, or both?
    Like most folks here, I'm not very familiar with the Server product, but I understand TM can do either or both.

  • ARD 3 Unlimited Client vs. 10 client software

    Hello all. You have to bare with me. I just got my first MacBook Pro from my job. I use to be a windows guy until this Im loving it. Im trying to see what is the difference between the unlimited Client and 10 clients. I know the number but I guess what Im really asking is I travel alot to different clients as well as my co-workers and if I by the 10 client software will I just be able to use it at 10 sites or is it just 10 machines i can only install the app on? Also does the Auto Install work with the 10 clients. I've heard different things.
    Thanx

    10 clients at a time can be in your main computer list. If you travel to multiple sites regularly you'd be better off with the unlimited client version.

  • Upgrading to Unlimited-client license

    Do you have to do a fresh install of ARD if you are upgrading from the 10-client license edition of ARD to the unlimited-client version. Could I just try replacing the serial number, and that would work?

    Yes

  • Wrong license type - Should be unlimited, comes up as 10-clients??

    I have recently rebuilt my schools osx server (10.3.9). I have it set up and it is running fine, except for a problem with the license type. It comes up as a "10-client" license when on the sticker on the install CDs it says unlimited clients.
    Before the server was rebuilt it was running as unlimted clients with the same serial, so I am unsure why it is coming up as a "10-client" license now?
    Cheers.
    Col.

    As far as I know the SN is directly tied to the type of Account it is. Meaning if it says it is a 10-user Serial it is a 10 user serial.
    I would try the following.
    1. Re-enter the SN carefully in Server Admin from the sticker, update and reboot.
    2. If you have a backup of the old 10.3.9 install restore it to a bootable drive (i.e. iPod, External drive, etc.) and just boot up to take a look at the serial number in SA that you say is unlimited.
    3. Double check the sticker that it says "MAC OS X SVR 10.3 UNLIMITED CLIENTS" license. That is exactly how the sticker should read. It must be a 10.3 license.
    3. If you have a legit version and the sticker on the CD/DVD disks says unlimited 10.3 and it still only shows 10-user contact Apple for a fix.

  • Downgrade ARD client software from 3.4 to 2.2?

    Hi,
    I'm running Apple Remote Desktop 2.2, however the Mac Pros (running 10.5.8) which I want to control have ARD Client 3.4 installed.
    Is there any way to downgrade the client software so I can use ARD 2.2?
    At the moment, when I try to, for example, send a message using ARD 2.2 to a Mac Pro running ARD Client 3.4 I get an error message reading:
    "Failed on all. Status: Newer Client software (3.4)"
    Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

    ARD 2.2 is not supported on Leopard nor on Intel-based Macs. At least one user (raus), though, posted here that he got ARD 2.2 to work in Leopard, but there are no guarantees. From the finder, navigate to:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteMangement
    From the folder, delete (or move) the ARDAgent v3.X file. Reinstall the 2.2 update for ARD on the Apple site. (This may be optional; the original poster just reinstalled the update to be safe.) You can reportedly now run Remote Desktop 2.2 in 10.5. This works for PowerPC and Intel Mac.
    Note, though, that this is completely unsupported by Apple and may or may not work, or may cause issues. For proper support for Leopard, you need ARD 3.2 or later. Your best option is to upgrade your administration system to ARD 3.4, which is available through the Mac App Store for only $79.99 for the unlimited-client version.
    Good luck.

  • Permissions Issue: Tiger Clients on Panther Server

    I've seen multiple posts on this topic but no sollutions. Ack!
    Server: Quicksilver 933, OSX Server 10.3.9 Unlimited
    Client: G4/1Ghz 1.5MB RAM, OSX 10.4.8
    Problem: A user logs in via a 10.3.9 machine and has read/write access to the appropriate folders on the server.
    The same username logged in from the 10.4.8 machine has read-only access to many, but not all, of the folders.

    Are the folders in question locked folders? Clients before 10.4.6 could write to locked folders (folders you couldn't delete, move or rename). From 10.4.6 or later however, the clients have read-only permissions. Just remove the locked flag of the folder, or use this hint if you wish to protect the folder from deletion:

  • Skype business, connection quality and client comp...

    Greetings.
    Our company operates a citrix environment on 2008 64bit servers.
    My manager has recently paid for Skype business but just want to understand a few aspects of it before going any further.
    Does the skype business allow you to install unlimited clients in your organisation but you need to have a skype business account for each person logging in?
    Also is there a difference with the quality of the connection, comparing free skype to business skype?
    ALso I suppose it would be good to know if the free skype and business skype are supported in the environment described above.

    There are no restrictions in the number of Skype clients you can use for normal or business releases. You can install Skype on systems that have no current Skype name assigned as well.
    Also is there a difference with the quality of the connection, comparing free skype to business skype?
    The basic differences are more control but they use the same methods when using the same version levels as far as services go.
    ALso I suppose it would be good to know if the free skype and business skype are supported in the environment described above.
    Here is an example of using the Skype clients. Please note again, that there is no cost for using any Skype client program normal or business versions to use free Skype services.

  • Unable to update client on multiple machines

    Hi All,
    I am completly new to ARD and trying out it features. I have ARD with unlimited clients. I was able to see all the machine (G5) and their client and then I tried select all the clients and selected task to "Upgrade client" which did not work at all. Then I tried selecting individual client and upgrade was successful. Can anyone tell me if I need anything special in order to run task on multiple machines at once?
    Thanks,

    I have just installed it today, I had the same experience. I couldn't update multiple clients at the same time, even had a problem updating some individual clients. I put it down to the client being busy at the time, it eventually did update after several tries.

  • Is there going to be a 10 client server license available

    Last year, I bought a copy of Leopard server with a 10 user license (part# MB005Z/A). I would like to see the same thing for SL but nothing is listed so far. Anyone know if it's coming??

  • Migrate existing snow leopard server to unlimited licenses

    Bought an unlimited client license os x server s/w to upgrade an existing 10 license os x server that is patched to 10.6.5.
    Do I need to re-install or can I just enter the new serial number somewhere?
    Thanks!

    If you are asking whether Mac OS X Server is separately packaged and separately installed from Mac OS X, yes. That's correct.
    You can generally load Mac OS X Server onto a Mac OS X client system to convert the box (make a backup first), though it's usually best to start with a clean install, and load in what you're interested in (usually the user directories), as this gets the new environment and the ownerships established without regard to the existing configuration.
    The [Mac OS X Server documentation|http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html] includes installation-related materials.
    The expected configuration order: get the IP network going, then make absolutely and completely certain DNS is correct (do not skip this!), then get Open Directory going, then Kerberos, then get the rest of the show going as and if needed.

  • Unlimited version BUT - How many Admin macs can I install it on ???

    I've had some input from a colleague and I think it's wrong.
    We have 1 copy (maybe 2) of ard V2 Unlimited version.
    My colleague has been told by our supplier that we can put it on as many macs as we want seeing it's "Unlimited" BUT...
    It means to me Unlimited Clients only and I would need to buy a copy for each ADMIN mac I want to put it on ! ???
    Am I correct here ?
    Mitch

    Dave,
    One other thing you may or may not be able to help with, otherwise I'll chuck another topic up...
    We got thru our "test" network all the way and I had to use IP's to connect, would there possibly be a port not open (I thought I'd got the 3 of them) because I could see the IP's but not the share names as I do on the local network.
    Have I missed something or is this not possible ? - We'll be DHCP'ing the end machines (currently Static), so their IP's would change but their Share Names would remain the same...
    We'll just have to ask the end users their IP's instead of machine names we do with the PC's and local macs.
    Thanks again...
    Mitch
