The all-new Lite subscription

Our free (for non-commercial use) plan has been given a complete makeover, replacing the old Home subscription.

Those using the new Lite plan now get high-speed streaming. Security has also been increased with 256-bit AES session encryption.

The Lite plan offers access to three managed devices.

Existing Home subscribers must remember that these changes only apply to the Lite plan. They’ll continue to access their Home subscription within VNC Connect 7. x.

Native support for Apple’s M1 & M2 chip

We now have native support for Macs with the M1 and M2 chips. You no longer need to use Rosetta to run VNC® Viewer and VNC® Server.

Offline licensing changes

How offline licenses are formatted has changed, starting with VNC Connect 7. x. However, if you’re currently using offline licensing, 6. x licenses won’t stop working for you, and these will keep functioning until their expiry date.

Instant Support is now known as On-Demand Assist.

Our Instant Support feature, which allows you to remotely access anyone’s computer in seconds on demand without installing remote access software, now has a new name. It is now called On-Demand Assist and continues to include all the features you know and love.
