How do subscriptions work with User Mode and Virtual Mode?

If you have a subscription that includes offline licensing and/or Virtual Mode, you can choose to run RealVNC Server in User Mode or in Virtual Mode on remote computers, as an alternative to Service Mode (the default).

Only direct connectivity is available for RealVNC Server in User Mode and Virtual Modes.

A trust-based system operates. Your subscription's capacity entitles you to install RealVNC Connect on a particular number of remote computers. You should:

• Only run RealVNC Server in User Mode on this number of computers.
• Only run RealVNC Server in Virtual Mode this many times, to create this number of virtual desktops. You can do this across one or more Linux computers, as long as the total number of running Virtual Mode instances is within your subscription capacity.
