Where it fits
For application publishing, Winflector puts your selected software within reach. Compare that focused experience with delivering an entire Windows desktop.

Security
Use Winflector's own accounts, or Windows authentication with local and domain users and groups — which is how Active Directory fits in.
Encrypted transmission is available. The documentation lists AES 128-bit and 256-bit options, and commercial deployments can add HTML5 and SSL certificate configuration.
Certificates, network design, server hardening and day-to-day practice all shape the outcome. Choose the configuration that fits your environment.
If you sell Windows software
Vendors usually reach us when a customer asks for browser access and the honest estimate for building it is measured in quarters.

It publishes Windows applications so authorized people can run them remotely.
The program itself executes on a central Windows server. What travels to the user is the application window, which they open in a browser or a lightweight client.
Generally no changes are needed. Existing 32-bit and 64-bit Windows executables can typically be published without touching their source code.
Compatibility can still depend on application behaviour, permissions, the graphics stack, child processes and peripheral integrations. Unusual applications, custom integrations and specialty hardware should be validated with the free edition.
Yes. Winflector includes an HTML5 client that works in compatible modern browsers.
Native clients are also available for Windows and Linux, with an Android client for mobile access.
No. Winflector uses its own communication technology. It does not rely on Microsoft RDP, Windows Remote Desktop Services / Terminal Services, or Citrix.
The core use case is publishing selected applications — users receive the application windows they are allowed to access, not necessarily a full remote desktop environment.
Winflector supports Winflector accounts or Windows / local / domain authentication.
Windows authentication can integrate with Active Directory through Windows users and groups.
Yes. Winflector supports encrypted transmission. Documentation lists AES 128/256-bit encryption options.
Commercial environments can add appropriate HTML5 / SSL configuration. Review the official security documentation before production deployment.
Winflector provides universal printing functionality and PDF printing for remote application sessions.
The free edition supports 2 concurrent devices, has no expiry, and may be used commercially within its limits.
It has specific feature and support limitations compared with commercial licensing — for example around server farms, certain HTML5/SSL options, and guaranteed commercial support. Check the official free-license details for the current list.
Commercial licences are based on concurrent accessing devices. You can install unlimited clients; only active concurrent devices consume licences.
Commercial licences are perpetual, with volume discounts available. Verify current pricing in the official store.
Yes. Commercial configurations can use server farms for scaling and load distribution.
Server-farm capability is a commercial feature and is not part of the free edition.
Users on macOS can access published applications through a compatible browser via the HTML5 client.
A native macOS client exists as a test / early client and should not be treated as a mature, fully supported production client at this time.
Compatibility should be tested with the actual application.
Recent Winflector releases (including 2026 updates) improved support for applications using technologies such as WebView2 and direct composition.
