NOTE: You cannot upgrade the PCoIP host driver software while a VMware View-brokered PCoIP session is active between a host workstation or host PC and VMware View client. Doing this will disable your mouse and keyboard when driver software is removed.

To upgrade the PCoIP host driver sofware in this type of deployment, either:

Connect to the host from a zero client

OR

Upgrade the software while connected to the host through another desktop-remote protocol such as Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or Virtual Network Console (VNC).

1.Download the PCoIP host driver software from the Teradici Support site.

2.Log in to the administrative web interface for the host card.

3.From the Configuration > Host Driver Functionmenu, enable the Host Driverfunction.

4.Restart the host PC.

5.Install the PCoIP host software package appropriate to the operating system installed on the host PC. You can start the install process by double-clicking the installer:

- 32 bit: PCoipHostSoftware_x86-v3.3.20.msi (or later)

- 64 bit: PCoipHostSoftware_x64-v3.3.20.msi (or later)

The welcome screen appears.

6.Click Next.

7.Accept the terms and conditions, and click Next.

8.Make sure the install location is correct, and click Next.

9.Click Install.

NOTE: For Windows 7, when the driver is installed, a Windows Security dialog may appear. Click Install to continue with the installation. To keep this dialog from appearing in the future, select Always trust software from Teradici Corporation.
