Software Update: AnyDesk 5.0.2

Version 5.0.2 of AnyDesk for Windows 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 you can pay on an annual basis, or immediately for a period of six years, which reduces the total cost.
