There are a few different ways to utilize the software. I will give you the way that I do. I have a number of "server" type systems at home, a handful of computers at work that I service, and a number of family members who need assistance quite often. In most cases, I have unattended access set up so I can access the systems without someone accepting on the other end. For most of my family members, I just have the quick run version so it's not always running. They just give me the code to connect. I've used a handful of other paid and free programs, but for the cost and what's included, it wins hands down for me.
