PCoIP Software Development Kit for Windows Release Notes

Release Overview

The PCoIP Client Software Development Kit (SDK) is a set of libraries and binaries provided to Teradici Cloud Access Platform customers who require the ability to customize and build a PCoIP client.

With control over how the PCoIP client is built, you can:

  • Build clients that conform to your company style and branding guides.
  • Build clients that adapt to customized workflows (for example, embed a PCoIP session into a software solution).

PCoIP Client SDK 19.05 introduces new fixes and updates to the previous release. This article provides a summary of key additions, compatibility notes, resolved issues, and known issues for this release.

To build additional functionality, such as extended peripheral support, you can utilize the Teradici PCoIP Virtual Channel SDK.
