Frequently Asked Questions
- To operate a pickle ENDPOINT (the installable application that actually controls the LOCAL presentation) requires a Host ID. A Host ID uniquely identifies the the ENDPOINT for user to attach to. The Host ID will be attached to your purchase agreement
- A user, identified by a User ID, uses the REMOTE (the web application or, shortly, windows app) to control the LOCAL presentation from a remote location.
- The connection between REMOTE and ENDPOINT requires a VALID User ID AND a VALID Host ID pair.
- The subscription entitles you to run two (2) ENDPOINTS with the SAME HOST ID AND USER ID at the same time. This allows you to run a Primary computer and a Backup with the same subscription. Any thing else is not allowed.
- Once the ENDPOINT is installed and a Host ID add, it is saved and remains on that machine until uninstalled or changed.
- As of the current version 1.8.10, users and User IDs are managed from the Pickle website (pickleremote.com). So even if a Host ID is left on a machine it cannot be used if the User ID has been removed from the User list on the website.
