If you need to increase the number of licenses you’re using, you can do so in your RealVNC account. However, please contact Sales if you need to change your license type.

You can download VNC Server here. It’s the software to install on every computer you want to control.

You can download VNC Viewer here. It’s what you install on every desktop computer you want to control from. If you’re looking to control computers from a mobile device or to access a mobile device, search ‘RealVNC’ in the iOS App Store or Android Play Store.

You need to license the VNC Server app you install on every remote computer you want to control. The VNC Viewer – the application you use to control other machines – doesn’t need licensing.

 Yes, as VNC Server and VNC Viewer are available as separate MSIs in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Any suitable tool, for example, SCCM or Group Policy can be used to remotely deploy to Windows computers.  However, you can only license VNC Server as part of the deployment process if your subscription includes that option.
