I have logmein as a remote connect service now. I have more than 30 computers I connect to on it. I have been looking into switching to teamviewer and only have one concern.
If I install the host that will remote control other computers on one computer and then install that remote software on 40+ other computers so I can remote connect to them from this one, will it work? When I read the commercial license pricing list it said it only allows up to 15 remote connects so how many does the free license allow? Maybe I didn't understand right...
I think you have some terminology confusion.
'Host' in Teamviewer is what you install on a machine that you want to control without anyone being in attendance at the remote end. I use this for headless servers (I have a paid licence).
'Host' is the same download as 'install', except that you run from within Teamviewer, Connections >> Setup unattended access. This creates a service, and means that you can connect before a local user has logged on.
Teamviewer doesn't do 'remote start' or 'remote wake on LAN' that can be achieved with LogMeIN. Personally I find teamviewer much faster than LogMeIn. I often find LogMeIn to be too slow to be functional.
You 'install' a version on the computer that you connect from (as opposed to 'run').
I normally 'install' on all computers I manage, and then if I need to I log in to my account from whichever computer I am at. This way I can be at one client's premises and connect (with their permission) to another client's computers in an emergency.
I am unsure where the '15 remote connects' comes from...
http://www.teamviewer.com/en/licensing/index.aspxYou can connect to an unlimited number of computers to control them ('hosts' on the page linked to above)
15 is the number of participants in a 'meeting'
