Portable (USB)

Remote Desktop Manager can be used as a portable application. The portable mode allows to run multiple versions of Remote Desktop Manager, using various license serials and configurations. To use a single portable Remote Desktop Manager application, follow Portable Remote Desktop Manager version.

Remote Desktop Manager stores the offline cache in the Windows profile by default. When using an advanced workspace and planning to use the offline mode, go to FileSettingsAdvanced and enable Use application directory for offline cache to have the offline cache stored in the application folder instead.

This procedure is not recommended for running Remote Desktop Manager from a network share shared by multiple users. This would prevent identifying individual users and would bring conflicts with user preferences.
