Install RDM on TS (citrix) how setup license

Hi,
Configure one of your session and copy the file remotedesktopmanager.cfg from %AppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager

This will be the new default config file.

Sorry to resurrect an old topic, but I'm trying to achieve something similar with Remote Desktop Manager 8.4.4.0. Whilst the online documentation states

I'm not whether this still applies to the version that is being used. It appears that license information is now kept in RemoteDesktopManager.license rather than RemoteDesktopManager.cfg. I've attempted copying that file to the program folder, however it does not update the license key for users with an existing profile. It has yet to be tested for a user with no existing config files.

Can I be advised if it is still possible to centrally update the license information, other than using a custom installer?

Hi,
the license is still saved in remotedesktopmanager.cfg and I'm not aware of a file called RemoteDesktopManager.license.

I think that the problem is that you need to copy this file into %localAppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager or %AppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager if you are using a Terminal Server

Thanks, can confirm that it works as expected.

I think my confusion was due to opening the config file before I closed the application, so the licensing information had not been updated as yet. Also, the original configuration file would have been been created a while ago with an prior version of the software.

Just as a fyi, the .license file (along with a .exb and .lxt), still remains, but it actually contains an older license key.

%localAppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager and %AppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager are both user related paths.

So I want to define my Settings (source and license) in a Default configuration as it is described in the Online Help.

"If Remote Desktop Manager cannot find the configuration file for a new user, it will automatically look for a file called default.cfg in the program installation folder, and copy it to the roaming profile. Moreover, the application will update the license key if a newer serial is found in the default configuration."

But I can't find any remotedesktopmanager.cfg or Default.cfg anywhere.

So where can I define Default Settings for my new users?

(We use TS/Citrix for our admin work and we have quite a few admins;-)

Version: RDM Beta 8.9.11.0 @ Windows 2008 R2

You can copy one of your remotedesktopmanager.cfg file into the application directory and rename it default.cfg.

It's possible that you haven't found remotedesktopmanager.cfg because if you are using a TS or a Citrix, it's saved in %AppData%\RemoteDesktopManager\Devolutions and not %LocalAppData%\RemoteDesktopManager\Devolutions

Ah now I get it.. Tanks David!
Here is what I've finally done. (2008 R2 x64 Terminal Server) And it seems to work.
First (Reference Installation):
1. Manual Install
2. Configuration (Source, License, everything else)
3. Save remotedesktopmanager.cfg from %AppData% or %LocalAppData% as default.cfg to Program Directory (and to Deployment Directory).
Then (Additional Terminal Server):
1. Create and execute Silent Installation
Echo - Execute Silent installation
Msiexec.exe /i "%~dp0Setup.RemoteDesktopManager.8.9.13.0.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /qb-! /norestart /l* "%LOGDIR%\RDM_MSI.log"
Echo - Copy Default Config
xcopy "%~dp0default.cfg" "%programfiles(x86)%\Devolutions\Remote Desktop Manager" /E /Y /Q

Case closed;-)
