What our сustomers say

Don’t take our word. See our testimonials

We were able to switch with no loss of functionality and without difficult explanations

The inability to use Ctrl + Alt + Del or quickly lock the computer by pressing Win Key + L was a very real drawback when we chose to deploy Windows based Thin Clients for their Microsoft Lync functionality. We were about to migrate hundreds of users to Thin Clients for the first time and both they and our current Linux based Thin Client users had become very much accustomed to these shortcuts.

I can't imagine having to explain to everybody that Ctrl Alt Delete doesn't work anymore

Simplicity has always been a key word at Kiiro and our belief that users should find their IT simple is at the very core of what we do. We were determined for our first big VDI project to be no different and CAD Redirect definitely helped us achieve that goal. I can't imagine having to explain to everybody that Ctrl Alt Delete doesn't work anymore, so CAD Redirect will definitely be part of our next project!

Frequently Asked Questions

Remember to check out our documentation for full details on CAD Redirect

How does CAD Redirect work?

Our proprietary key redirection technology has the ability to hide keypresses from the operating system and other software such as graphics drivers with hot-keys. This means that CAD Redirect is able to send your key presses directly to the remote session, just as if they were typed from a keyboard connected directly to the console.

Where is CAD Redirect installed?

CAD Redirect is installed onto your Windows-based client devices. There are no server components and no modifications need to be made to your server / remote session infrastructure.

Which remote desktop technologies does CAD Redirect work with?

CAD Redirect is tested and supported with Citrix ICA/HDX, Microsoft RDP/RDS and VMware View PCoIP/Blast. Other non-supported user-facing technologies such as Wyse vWorkspace have also been utilised successfully by customers. However, CAD Redirect will not work with remote assistance solutions such as TeamViewer, VNC etc

How is CAD Redirect licensed?

CAD Redirect is licensed on a "per device" basis. Each device holds a local copy of the license file, making it very easy to roll into images or deployment tools. There is no activation process or license server.

Is CAD Redirect a keylogger?

Absolutely not. Although CAD Redirect captures keypresses all processing is done in real-time and no data is collected, stored or transmitted. The only exception to this is when trace level debugging is activated - this will prompt a warning to the user on startup.

Can I try it?

Absolutely! We provide a free 30 Day trial with unrestricted use - get in touch with us below to request yours.
