Every build here comes straight out of the project's own pipeline, with the checksum it was published under. Put a host on the workstation you want to reach and the Connection Manager somewhere both ends can see; install a client on whatever is on your desk.

Licensing. These builds are free to download and evaluate under the software licence, which you accept by downloading one; use beyond an evaluation needs a commercial licence. For terms, volume, or anything that has to go past a procurement team, write to licensing@longview.network.
Verify what you downloaded. Each card shows the SHA-256 of the file it links to. On macOS and Linux, shasum -a 256 <file> should print the same string.
Free for 30 days

Start a trial

A workstation asks for a licence before it lets anybody connect. Give us an email address and we will send you a trial licence for up to three workstations, for 30 days. One trial per address; for a longer one, or an air-gapped evaluation, write to licensing@longview.network.

By starting a trial you agree to the software licence. We use what you give us as our privacy policy describes: to send your licence, and to talk with you about your trial.

NVIDIA only, for now. Every GPU path above is NVIDIA's — NVENC to encode, NVDEC to decode — except the macOS builds, which use Apple silicon's own media engine. AMD and Intel are on the roadmap and are not in this release.
