Parallels Remote Application Server is a comprehensive virtual application and desktop delivery solution that allows employees to access and use applications and data from any device. In past blogs, we have talked about Parallels RAS features and licensing.

Today, we’d like to walk you through Parallels RDP Client peculiarities and shed some light on some of the new features of version 15.5.

When you start the RDP Client, you will notice the following:

  1. After the device’s idle time has elapsed, the screen will not switch off while the connection is active.
  2. When the Parallels Client is running in the background, the connection will stay active for a defined timeframe.
  3. In Auto mode, session resolution is adjusted to the orientation of the device.
  4. You can change the resolution option in Auto Orientation mode.
  5. All messages that were disabled by the “Do not ask me again” dialog option are reset.
