Overview

You have the ability to add clients to your license, view client details, track session history for each client within your license, add an Alias, and more.

After installing the client on your or a colleague’s device, you can adjust its settings via my.anydesk II and the changes will be applied instantly without the need for reinstallation.

To make real-time changes to specific clients, you’ll first need to Activate Central Management.

💡 You can also customize the settings of all clients linked to your custom build. For more information, refer to the Manage Builds page.

Add a client to your license

There are two methods to license your AnyDesk client:

• Activate the license key in the client
• Create a custom client linked to the license and install it on your device

To add a client to your license:

1. Log in to my.anydesk II, open the Clients tab, and click Add Client.
2. In the pop-up window, copy the License Key value.
   
3. Open your AnyDesk client and in the upper-right corner of the client, click > Change License Key….
   
4. In the Change License Key section, paste the copied license key and click Activate license key.
   

After completing these steps, the client will be linked to your license and will appear in the Clients tab.

Edit a client

Central Management provides the flexibility to modify the settings of individual clients, such as adjusting client type (Incoming only, Outgoing only, or Bidirectional), updating security settings, managing access to specific client features, and editing session permission profiles.

All changes will be applied to the specific client instantly.

To edit specific client settings, you’ll need to first activate Central Management and provide the Private Key within my.anydesk II after each login.

In this guide, discover how to:

• Modify the settings of individual clients (Create client configuration)
• Revert changes made to individual clients (Delete client configurations)

To add a client configuration:

1. Log in to my.anydesk II and in the Activate Central Management section, click Provide Private Key.
   💡 For instructions on obtaining your Private Key, refer to the Activate Central Management page.

3. Navigate to the Clients section and select the client you wish to edit from the list.
