Using FreeRDP for RDP Connections
If you plan to use RDP rather than PCoIP for connections to View desktops, you can choose between using
an rdesktop client or xfreerdp, the open-source implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP),
released under the Apache license.
Because the rdesktop program is no longer being actively developed, Horizon Client can also run the
xfreerdp executable if your Linux machine has the required version and patches for FreeRDP.
IMPORTANT If you plan to connect to remote desktops or applications on a Microsoft RDS host, if that host is
configured with the Per Device mode of licensing, you must use xfreerdp or else change the licensing mode
to Per User mode. The reason is that Per Device licensing mode requires the RDP client to provide a client
ID, and rdesktop does not provide that ID, whereas xfreerdp does.
