Installing the PCoIP Host Driver Software
To complete the process to let the physical PC work with VMware View, you must install the PCoIP host driver
software.
Important Note: You cannot upgrade the PCoIP host driver sofware while a VMware View-brokered PCoIP
session is active between a host workstation or host PC and VMware View client. Doing this results in losing
access to your mouse and keyboard when the 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-remotingprotocolsuchasRDP
or VNC
This section provides a quick overview of the host driver installation process. For more details, see the Teradici
Supportsite.
