Installing the PCoIP Host Driver Software
To complete the process to let the physical PC work with VMwareView, you must install the
PCoIP host driver software.
Important Note: You cannot upgrade the PCoIP host driver sofware while a VMware View-
brokered PCoIP session is active between a host workstation or host PC and VMware View
client. Doing this results in losing access to your mouse and keyboard when the driver
software is removed.
To upgrade the PCoIP host driver sofware in this type of deployment, either:
•
Connect to the host from a zero client, or
•
Upgrade the software while connected to the host through another desktop-remoting
protocol such as RDP or VNC
This section provides a quick overview of the host driver installation process. For more
details, see the
PCoIP Host Software User Guide
from the Teradici Support
site.
