Limitations for Specific Features
Location-based printing is supported for Windows Server 2008 R2 desktops, RDS desktops (on virtual
machine RDS hosts), and remote applications only in Horizon Client 3.1 and later and Horizon 6.0.1 with
View and later servers.
NOTE You can also use Horizon Client to securely access remote Windows-based applications, in addition
to remote desktops. Selecting an application in Horizon Client opens a window for that application on the
local client device, and the application looks and behaves as if it were locally installed.
You can use remote applications only if you are connected to View Connection Server 6.0 or later. For
information about which operating systems are supported for the RDS (Remote Desktop Sessions) host,
which provides remote applications and session-based desktops, see "Supported Operating Systems for
View Agent" topic in the View 5.x or 6.x installation documentation.
Using the Sidebar with a Remote Application
Tablet users can quickly navigate to a remote, or hosted, application from a the sidebar for applications,
available with Horizon Client 3.2 or later. From this sidebar, you can launch applications and switch
between applications. You can also switch to a remote desktop.
When you access a remote application, the sidebar appears on the left side of the screen. If the sidebar is
closed, you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen to display it when you are using a remote
application.
NOTE You can use remote applications only if you are connected to View Connection Server 6.0 or later.
