vSpace Pro Ads Edition

Is this for me?

Affordable desktop virtualization has always been our guiding principle. However, software development is an expensive proposition. vSpace Pro Ads incorporates advertisements into the experience, allowing us to offer a 'free' virtualization platform that helps offset the costs associated with ongoing research and development.​ 
vSpace Pro Ads is compatible with the following devices with no additional NComputing licenses, regardless of the manufacture date. 
If you prefer to avoid advertising, please consider using vSpace Pro Enterprise or vSpace Pro LTS.

How do the advertisements work?

During a vSpace session, advertisements will appear on the screen. The user can resume their session immediately by clicking on the ad or wait for it to time out. It's also possible to use the Snooze feature to defer the advertisements for a short period of time. 
The content, duration, and frequency of ad displays are variable and subject to change, as is the availability of the Snooze feature.

Limitations and Restrictions

Getting Started

  1. Create your NComputing Management Portal account if you don’t have one. Skip this step if you already have a NComputing Management Portal account for your organization.
  2. Download the latest vSpace Pro Ads Edition from the software download page.
  3. Run vSpace Pro Ads Edition installer on the host machine where you want to have vSpace Pro Ads Edition installed. You will be prompted to restart the host machine once the installation is completed.
