Hi everyone!
We have just released yet another nice SkyFex update. The new version features Remote to Local Printing.
Also, it includes a bug fix: now on Windows 7 and Windows 2008, the Ctrl+Alt+Del combination works in the logon screen. We highly recommend updating all your client installations of SkyFex Unattended Access to the new version. To do this, go to My SkyFex -> My Computers. You will see message that client is not up-to-date. Then update the clients as necessary.
Also, please be sure to turn UAC on the target computer on for the Ctrl+Alt+Del combination to work.
Best regards,
SkyFex Team.
Hey guys,
We wish you a Merry X-Mas and a happy New Year!
May success attend you, and may all your problems resolve in a straightforward and timely manner!
Cheers,
SkyFex Team.
Hi!
Today’s SkyFex release adds a much demanded feature. It’s file transfer for unattended remote access.
Now the subscribers of SkyFex Pro will be able to exchange files with office and home computers and other unattended PCs. Note that here file transfer works a bit different from SkyFex file exchange with a human user. So, feel free to read a brief howto.
We recommend updating all your installations of SkyFex Unattended Access control. It’s necessary to avoid version incompatibility and get the new file transfer feature working.
If you have questions or want to test-drive SkyFex Pro, please contact us.
Best regards,
SkyFex Team.
Hey everyone!
First of all – big thanks to beta testers for trying out unattended access. Guys, you did a great job. Now we are ready for the final release.
So, SkyFex 3.3.2 is officially there. From now on, both SkyFex Pro and Free users can access their PCs when there’s no one there. For the howto, be sure to read the help article.
Last but not least. There are no licensing limitations on the number of computers in your SkyFex Free or Pro account.
Guys, we hope you will enjoy the new feature!
Also, some features are in the development for SkyFex Pro users. The new release is coming soon.
Kind regards,
SkyFex Team.
Hi everyone!
This is by far the most exciting release since SkyFex 3.0.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new Unattended Access feature! SkyFex now allows connecting to your unattended computers. You install the unattended access service once – and you can connect to your computer via browser from anywhere, any time. Also, the new version brings some minor bug fixes and tweaks, as usual.
Yet this is a beta release, and unattended access is only available to subscribers of SkyFex Pro. However, if you are not a Pro subscriber and you want to get your hands on the new feature, be sure to let us know.
We hope that unattended access will make SkyFex a more complete solution meeting all the essential needs of remote control users.
Also, the web site content has been updated to display info in a more straightforward and logical manner; some eye-candy added here and there.
Best regards,
SkyFex Team.
Hi!
Something gone almost unnoticed – we released SkyFex plugin version that supports Firefox 5.0. The major release by Mozilla was quite a surprise for lots of folks, and Firefox’s new development cycle promises even more frequent major releases, so everyone will have to keep up!
Anyway, we can tell for sure that SkyFex now fully supports Firefox 5.0.
Also, a new and exciting release is nearing, and before it, we are going to test some great new features in a closed beta test. So, if any of you guys would like to enroll – drop a message here or an email to support(at)skyfex.com. We’ll need to know the email address of your SkyFex account to enlist you, so be sure to post it as well.
Regards,
SkyFex Team.
Hi!
In the previous post, we announced the licensing changes, including twice more remote control time in the Free version. But that’s not the only news in version 3.2.0 (yesterday’s release). Even better news: SkyFex is now faster!
So, dear users, we recommend to check it out for yourself. Our tests have shown that, depending on the Internet connection speed, performance may increase up to 3 times.
Be sure to post your impressions about the speed and the licensing changes. You can post here on the blog, or in the feedback/support forms.
Regards,
SkyFex Team.
Hi!
Some really important news here. There are SkyFex licensing changes that will take effect starting Tuesday, April 19, 2011. Here they are:
- SkyFex Free will now have 10 minutes of remote control instead of 5. Yeah, that’s fun.
- SkyFex Free will be allowed for use in non-commercial projects only. That means to use SkyFex in a commercial project, you will need to subscribe to SkyFex Pro.
So, what do we understand under “commercial use”? It’s simple:
- If you charge your clients for remote support done via SkyFex – then it’s commercial use.
- If you offer support via SkyFex as a part of maintenance and support of a commercially distributed product or service – then it’s commercial use.
If you help your mom and dad, and they, in return, treat you to an onion pie – it’s not commercial use. But you can send us a slice of that pie if you feel that’s appropriate 
Note that we offer SkyFex Pro licenses for free to some educational and non-profit organizations – and to some other companies and organizations at our discretion. Be sure to ask us if your company is entitled.
We hope the new licensing will make SkyFex more pleasant to use. Feel free to tell us what you think about it.
Regards,
SkyFex Team.
Hi!
There was a minor release that came rather unnoticed but it’s nevertheless worth mentioning.
So, it brought a new feature – intelligent compression of transferred files plus some minor improvements.
Yours,
SkyFex Team.
Dear All,
We have just released SkyFex 3.1.1.
The release brings some really nice features – Remote Reboot and Share My Desktop. Let’s see why they are so cool.
Remote Reboot allows you to restart the remote machine. It will reconnect automatically after the restart. Very convenient.
Share My Desktop is for Experts who want to do a bit of training for the remote user. So, the Expert shares his/her desktop with the remote user to show how to do things.
Those new features are available for the Pro accounts only – c’est la vie. If you are a free user, but want to test-drive the new functionality, we are always eager to let you try a Pro account. Just let us know.
These features have been brought because many Experts were eager to have them, so they insisted that we implement them So, if you want to see certain features in SkyFex, be sure to contact us.
Regards,
SkyFex Team.
