Embedded Files
Description
VT Anywhere can be used on a variety of devices, including rugged displays, proprietary hardware, and many others.
Deployed versions of VT Anywhere can be configured to allow for specific settings as well as custom branding. In addition, deployed versions disable the demo functionality and do not allow users to see or access licensing information.
In the images below, custom text is set, and the remote access and screenshot functionality have been disabled (and are no longer visible). Please note that the "DISTek" button is a test object pool that will be replaced with the appropriate client when connected.
How to Configure for Deployment
Licensing
Bulk licenses can be created by compiling a list of device IDs and generating a master license file. This file will be added to each device, which will minimize the work involved with setting up licensing. DISTek will create this bulk license file and send it along with detailed installation instructions.
After this license file is placed in the proper directory, further licensing changes will not be required unless upgrading to an incompatible version of VT Anywhere.
The bulk license file should be located in the following directory (depending on file system):
For Windows: %AppData%/Roaming/vt-anywhere/bulk_license_codes.txt
For Linux: %HOME%/.config/vt-anywhere/bulk_license_codes.txt
The bulk license file will be in this format:
MACHINE_ID1,XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ-XXXX-YYYY;
MACHINE_ID2,YYYY-XXYY-ZZZZ-XXYY-YYXX;
...
Configuration of branding and settings
Configuration Directory
The config directory (located in the same vt-anywhere location as the bulk license file) allows manufacturers to have control over what the end user can see and interact with on screen.
It is recommended to set up permissions to block user access to the vt-anywhere directory.
Configuration Files
If there is a file named remote.disable that exists (whether it contains text or not), then remote connections are disabled and the IP Address will not be visible to users.
If there is a file named screenshot.disable that exists (whether it contains text or not), then the screenshot button is not visible and screenshots cannot be taken.
If there is a file named CompanyName.txt that exists and contains text, then the file contents will be used as the heading instead of "VT Anywhere". If it is empty or does not exist, then "VT Anywhere" is displayed.
Note: changes to these files should be performed when VT Anywhere is not running.
