TeamViewer 4 BETA

Coolio10 · Nov 26, 2008

My fav remote desktop software is releasing version 4 soon. Logmein finally has some competition because version 4 includes web-based access from their website. Two things teamviewer will have over logmein free is file transfer and presentatons.

NEW: Web browser based access
One of the main additions to TeamViewer 4 is the new web browser based access mode that allows remote access to another computer via a web browser
Remote control is done by an Adobe Flash 9 component, TeamViewer 4 web connector does not need any ActiveX etc. component and by that will also be usable in high-security environments where browser plugins and executable files are not allowed.
The web connector requires a free TeamViewer account.
The web connector will not be included in the Business licenses

NEW: Browser based 1:n presentations
In addition to remotely controlling computers TeamViewer 4 now also allows to participate in presentations with a browser and nothing but Adobe Flash required
Multiple participants are now allowed in a presentation session (up to 2 for the Free version, up to 5 with the Business and up to 10 with the Premium license)

NEW: TeamViewer account system with presence state display
TeamViewer 4 offers a brand new account system that allows you to store trusted partners and remote computers in your partner list in order to connect to those partners with a single click of the mouse
The partner list will also include presence state display, so you will be able to see which of your partners or remote computers is currently online
The accounts are stored on the TeamViewer servers and are by that portable - you will be able to log on to your account from any TeamViewer and even from the new web connector

NEW: Other additions and enhancements

The additions to TeamViewer 4 don't stop here - there are other major new features in the new version:
Remote system information: Get a system overview of the technical configuration of the remote system
Performance tuning: TeamViewer 4 is much faster than TeamViewer 3
Remote screen resolution: The resolution of the remote screen can now be remotely adjusted during a session

Licenses, updates and backwards-compatibility
TeamViewer 4 users will be able to connect to TeamViewer 3 without limitations
However the other way, connecting from TeamViewer 3 to TeamViewer 4, is not possible due to technical and licensing restrictions
During beta phase all TeamViewer 3 license keys will also be valid for TeamViewer 4, after the final release an update will be required depending on the date of purchase of version 3.
All customers who ordered TeamViewer 3.x after October 1st, 2008, will be able to use their license key with version 4, the update is free for them.
Pricing for the updates for older customers has not been finally defined yet but will be available soon. If you order your update from version 2.x to version 3.x now this will also be valid for version 4.
The final release will be available in December 2008

Yeah I got it a few days ago. But I didn't have the chance to try it. Have you? Is it really faster than the previous version?

logmem left drivers and other stuff behind.
