Description Package
Installs the remote features that are needed to connect to a
host computer for remote control, remote management, and
file transfer. Excludes host features.

one computer is a host and the other is a remote.
Remote Only Installation
If you have a previous version installed
During the installation process, pcAnywhere automatically scans for a previous
version. If you are installing pcAnywhere on a computer that has pcAnywhere
12.0.x or later, pcAnywhere confirms whether you want to preserve existing
configuration data before installing over the previous version. How pcAnywhere
handles the data conversion process depends on your operating system and the
version of pcAnywhere that is installed.
If you are installing pcAnywhere on a computer that has a version of pcAnywhere
earlier than 10.x, pcAnywhere prompts you to uninstall it. This removes all
pre-existing configuration data. Configuration data from these versions cannot
be converted or preserved.
For more information about planning a migration and upgrade strategy, see the
Symantec pcAnywhere Administrator's Guide.
Symantec pcAnywhere installation
During the installation process, you might be required to restart the computer.
If so, after the computer restarts, you must log on again using the same user
credentials to ensure proper functionality.
If you are installing a packaged version of pcAnywhere, installation procedures
might vary.
See “Installing a custom version” on page 63.
Installing the full product version
The full product version includes host, remote control, remote management, and
file transfer features. In the Corporate and Retail versions, this includes the Host
Administrator tool.
