RDP Wrapper works as a layer between Service\r\nControl Manager and Terminal Services. Or say, it’s like a pipe, which connects Service Control Manager and\r\nTerminal Services. It enables Remote Desktop Host support and concurrent RDP sessions. Instead of modifying\r\ntermsrv.dll file, the original termsrv.dll file remains untouched.\r\nIs RDP Wrapper safe and legal?\r\nThere has been heated discussion about the security and legality of the RDP Wrapper. Let's find out the answer.\r\nIs RDP Wrapper safe?\r\nSome of you may wonder if RDP Wrapper is safe or not? The answer is No. When you want to download RDP\r\nWrapper, you may find that Chrome Browser does not allow you to download it and says that it is a virus and\r\nharmful to your computer. Why would Chrome Browser do that?\r\nIn fact, RDP Wrapper adds a weakness to the system by opening a gateway for potential hackers to attack and\r\nintroducing Trojan horse software to steal and take control over a user’s data. This is pretty dangerous. Thus, for\r\nthe protection of your computer and the data on your computer, you are not recommended to use RDP Wrapper.\r\nhttps://www.anyviewer.com/how-to/is-rdp-wrapper-safe-2578.html\r\nPage 1 of 7\n\nIs RDP Wrapper legal?\r\nThen is RDP Wrapper legal? Next, let’s talk about the legality of the RDP Wrapper. As the original license\r\nagreement states, “You may remotely access and use the software installed on the licensed computer from another\r\ncomputer to share a session using Remote Assistance or similar technologies.” The “session” here refers to the\r\nexperience of interacting directly or indirectly with the software through any combination of input, output, and\r\ndisplay peripherals. \r\nOn the one hand, RDP Wrapper is a separate application that allows Remote Desktop with concurrent terminal\r\nsessions. According to the above-mentioned statement, the license agreement isn’t violated. On the other hand,\r\nalthough termsrv.dll remains unmodified, RDP Wrapper doesn’t implement these functions. They all are\r\ncontrolled by Terminal Services, which were loaded with different parameters. It seems that it’s difficult to\r\nclassify it. \r\nHowever, it violates the End User License Agreement (EULA) of the Microsoft Windows desktop operating\r\nsystems. While connecting multiple users to a Windows operating system, the legal way is to use a server version\r\nof Microsoft Windows with appropriate Client Access Licenses (CALs) and Remote Desktop Services Client\r\nAccess Licenses (RDS CALs). You are supposed to purchase the necessary CALs and RDS CALs for your remote\r\ndesktop deployments.\r\nhttps://www.anyviewer.com/how-to/is-rdp-wrapper-safe-2578.html\r\nPage 2 of 7\n\nA safe alternative to RDP wrapper\r\nIf you are looking for a safe and legal remote control solution, here we recommend AnyViewer, which also allows\r\nyou to achieve concurrent connections.\r\nSecurity is one of the most important things that AnyViewer is concerned about.
