Vmware Client For Mac Os
Enter to Search. By Operating System. VMware Horizon Client for Windows 10 UWP makes it easy to work on your VMware Horizon virtual desktop and hosted applications from a wide.
While many of you are aware that the VMware View PCoIP Client for Mac has been released mid march, I have not got to test it earlier as I was busy with my VCDX as well few vCloud Projects. Actually as a Mac user I were looking for this for a while, & now got the time to try it and it work just great. This has removed one task that I needed Windows for. Many of you might know that at VMware we use VMware View 5 to access our lab systems to test products and train our self on new products. Having to fire up a virtual machine and go through that to access our VMware View lab was quite painful & I am really glad the VMware View 5 Client for Mac now support PCoIP as there is no comparison between it and RDP specially over WAN connection.
In this post, I will document how to download and install the VMware View PCoIP Client for Mac & my experience with it. Though before we start let’s look at what the new PCoIP client for Mac offer as of version 1.5.0.
- Access your VM-console from Linux or Mac OS X with a VMware Player-console. Once your ESXi-host is up and running and you have multiple virtual machines running and maybe also vCenter deployed as a virtual appliance then you can access the console of those virtual machines with VMware Player.

Our built-in antivirus scanned this Mac download and rated it as virus free. The unique ID for this program's bundle is com.vmware.view. The most popular versions of the application are 4.6 and 4.5.

Combine the new 1080p video out feature with the Presentation Mode feature we introduced in the 1.2 client and you can connect your iPad to your TV and get a 1920×1080 Windows desktop right in your living room. Check out what I did the last night with my TV!

Last but not least, we have our new VMware View Client for Android. We have spent a lot of time on the Android client to help provide a better user experience whether you are using a low resolution Android device or the latest Honeycomb tablets.
Taking advantage of the action bar on Honeycomb tablets, we can provide a more discoverable way to take advantage of the great features in Android client.
In addition to the user interface improvements for the Android client, we are making it easier to get on popular devices. In addition to the Google’s Android Marketplace and Cisco’s AppHQ, the VMware View Client for Android will soon be available in the Amazon Appstore for Android. Watch this blog for updates! This will make it easy for Amazon Kindle Fire users to download the VMware View Client and use it on their Kindle Fire like I have been doing for weeks now!
