Software Update: AnyDesk 4.0.0

Version 4.0 of AnyDesk has been released. With this program, which is being developed by former TeamViewer employees, another computer can be taken over to manage it remotely. The program is available for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, Android and iOS, although not every platform has the same version number. It is free for home use, for commercial use either a one-time fee or a lower amount per year is charged. It does not matter how many updates are released in the meantime. The following improvements have been made in this release:

Pick your custom alias
Aliases are easier to remember than long numbers. That’s why AnyDesk 4.0 lets you pick your own alias (like demo-01@ad). Just select the “Choose Your Alias” option after installation or from the context menu on your AnyDesk ID at any later point in time.

File browser mode
Browse, transfer, rename and delete files with ease on all your remote devices. AnyDesk’s new file browser mode allows you to do all of these things and more. Of course you can still copy and paste files during a remote session.

Session recording
Whether you are IT professional or end user, record all your AnyDesk sessions for documentation, training purposes or proof-of-work.

Address book on macOS
Organize, share and access all your customer addresses on macOS in no time. The address book synchronizes them across all your devices. Full unattended access for macOS Connect to the login screen and switch between user sessions. Install AnyDesk 4.0 to get full unattended access on macOS devices.

Automated updates
At AnyDesk, we work hard to prevent compatibility problems of any kind, but we encourage users to always have the latest version installed to benefit from bug fixes and new features. Updating manually is tedious and annoying – especially if it needs to be done on many PCs. Automatic updates will do the job for you.

Custom client download links
AnyDesk Professional lets you create a customized client file that carries your brand and adapts to your business process. Generate a download link for your website which always provides the latest AnyDesk client including all your customizations.

Terminal server support
Connect into Windows Terminal Server sessions. Use demo-01@ad/johndoe to connect into johndoe’s open user session on the demo-01@ad terminal server with AnyDesk 4.0 installed.

Automated session locking
Leaving a PC in the office unlocked can lead to funny emails about free beer. But it can also have more severe consequences. With the new auto locking feature, you can be sure nobody is messing with your PC when you close your AnyDesk session.
