There are several programs based on the vnc protocol that can be used to manage computers remotely. RealVNC gets its name from the fact that it is published by several people who have tinkered with this protocol from the very beginning at AT&T. RealVNC is available in one free and two commercial performances. Version 5.1.1 has been released with the following improvements:
All platforms
- FIXED: An issue when setting the same port for VNC connections (RfbPort) and for VNC Viewer for Java downloads (HttpPort).
Windows
- Automatic update checks can now be controlled when installing VNC at the command line. More information.
- FIXED: VNC Server no longer incorrectly reports that a standard license key is not valid for the current domain.
Mac OS X
- FIXED: Users can now connect if the display is asleep even if a password is required to wake the display.
