protect server with a password

#1 · 25/09/2025, 08:17

Hi, since we have more than one Windows server installed on our network, is it possible to protect each server with a password (even with the free license)?

Hi @nicovon,

Password protection is only available for viewers with a business license, which means that only viewers with a business license can connect to Primary PCs with “Password Protection & Encryption” turned on in the Driver Console.

OK, I get it. Is there at least a way to rename the IP addresses to distinguish them?

Hi @nicovon,

You can change your Primary PC’s name so you can identify which Primary PC is which from your viewer.

Do I have to do it from the viewer? So if I rename the server, it won’t appear twice?

Hi @nicovon,

No, you would need to change the Primary PC’s name in the PC itself. The viewer shows the PC name of the server, and that name is provided by the PC.

Hi there!
Yes, you can set a password to protect each Windows server individually, even if you’re using the free license. However, some advanced security and management features may be limited in the free version.

For full protection and centralized control, upgrading to a paid license is recommended — but basic password protection will still work on each server.

Hope this helps!
