Working with Winshuttle Connect

Winshuttle STUDIO and Connect

If you have a Winshuttle Studio installation, when you log in and select Remember my log in for one program, Connect remembers your credentials for all programs.

Concurrent logons

It is possible to log in to two computers at the same time. When you log in to the second computer, a message appears to tell you that you are logged in twice, but it disappears, and you can continue to work. You cannot log in to a third machine. For more information, contact your Winshuttle Connect administrator.

If your Internet is disconnected

Full functionality is available for your programs through Connect for up to 6 hours after the Internet is disconnected. However, you must have authenticated once before the disconnection, so that it is clear to Connect that you are a valid user. The authentication requirement prevents unlicensed users from working offline.
