Apple Remote Desktop Released

Posted by pudge on from the big-brother-is-not-all-that-bad dept.

A user writes "Apple Remote Desktop provides remote administration and viewing for Macs. It works back to Mac OS 8.1, over the Internet, provides remote software updates, system checks, screen locking and more. Sweet." Sweet indeed. I could use this for my home network (right now consisting of five Macs, going on six). The cost is $299 for 10 clients, $499 for unlimited clients.

  1. No dual licenses? by krugdm · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If I have a PowerBook and a desktop Mac, I need to buy a ten-user license? Apple should sell a two-license pack as well for home users.

    I do realize that the intended use of this is for schools or businesses, but home users could get some use out of it as well.
