[TIPS] How to Renew Your Remote Desktop Manager License for Single Users, Admins, and Not-for-Resale

One of the best things about Remote Desktop Manager licenses is that they are per USER and not per MACHINE. This allows users to install as many versions as they wish — on their work computer, VM, laptop, and smartphone. We want to make it as easy as possible for IT pros to continue their work journey whenever and wherever (and have some extra time to enjoy Sysadminotaur comics!).

And speaking of easy: it is fast and easy to renew your Remote Desktop Manager license for Single Users, Admins, or Not-for-Resale (NFR).

Renewing a Remote Desktop Manager License for Single Users

Step 1: Locate the email that contains your serial number.

Step 2: Launch Remote Desktop Manager, and go to Help → Register Product.

Step 3: Enter the name, email address, and serial number from the email you located in Step 1, and then click OK.

Note: If your license is stored in the Data Source Settings System Settings of an Advanced Data Source, then there is no need to register Remote Desktop Manager. This is because the license’s serial number is retrieved directly from it. When launching the application for the first time, simply add the data source containing the serial number.

Renewing a Remote Desktop Manager License for Administrators

Step 1: Launch Remote Desktop Manager, and go to Administration →  Licenses.

Step 2: Click Add License.

Step 3: Enter the license serial, and then click OK.

Renewing a Remote Desktop Manager License for NFR

We offer single user NFR licenses to certified Microsoft MVPs, Citrix CTPs, Citrix CTAs, Nutanix NTC, VMWare vExperts, and Veeam Vanguard.

To renew your NFR license, simply add your information in this brief form: https://devolutions.net/offer/nfr. We will then send you an email containing a new serial number. Once you receive it, just follow the same steps outlined above for renewing a Single User license.
