EZZE Remote Host Test version

Your PC is always within reach. Even when no one’s at the desk.

The Host is an optional add-on for PCs you look after long-term: the office PC, the server in the back room or a client’s computer. It keeps access ready, even when Windows is locked.

Free on the supported PC
New devices only with on-site confirmation

What the Host is for

Spontaneous help or permanent access?

For quick help in between, EZZE Remote with ID, password and confirmation is enough. The Host comes in when a PC should be reachable without asking.

Servers and office PCsInstall updates or fetch a file, even after hours and with nobody on site.
Supported client PCsFor IT service providers with regular clients. The client confirms your device once, after that it works without a phone call.
Locked WindowsThe Host runs as a Windows service and also shows the lock screen. Signing in still requires the Windows password.

Setup

Set up in five steps.

Setup happens once, directly on the PC that should be reachable later.

1
Start setup
Sign in as the Windows user who should be shown later and start the Host setup. Windows asks for admin rights once.
2
Set the permanent password
Open the Host via the EZZE icon next to the clock. Under Settings > Unattended access you set your own password with 14 to 128 characters.
3
Connect from the admin PC
On the device you will use for access, choose “I’m helping someone”, switch on “Use unattended access” and enter the Host ID and permanent password.
4
Confirm the device on site
The first time, you compare the device code shown and confirm the admin device on the Host: view only or allow control.
5
Done
From now on this device connects without asking, even when Windows is locked on the Host.

Clear limits

What the Host can do and what it deliberately can’t.

What works

Access to the signed-in Windows session, even when it is locked
Starts automatically after a Windows restart once the configured user has signed in
Up to 20 paired admin devices, removable one by one
Pause unattended access via the icon next to the clock
Local access log with the last 100 events

Deliberately not possible

Bypassing the Windows sign-in. That still requires the Windows password.
Access before the first sign-in, in sleep mode or when the PC is switched off
Reaching other Windows accounts on the same PC
Transferring files while Windows is locked
Unlocking new devices remotely

Security

Unattended access with a double lock.

Password and device keyAccess requires the permanent password and the key of a device confirmed on site. The password alone is not enough.
Revoke everything at onceA new permanent password disconnects all previously paired devices.
Lean serviceThe Windows service itself has no network access. It starts the connection as a normal Windows user, not with system rights.
Nothing gets bentThe Host changes neither User Account Control nor the firewall or Windows sign-in, and stores no Windows passwords.

Test version. The Host is currently being tested on real devices, including with locked Windows. Only then will it be available for download.

Questions about the Host

Good to know.

What does the Host cost?

On the PC that should be reachable, the Host is free. Anyone who accesses supported PCs professionally needs a Pro licence as the helping person.

Do I need the Host for spontaneous help?

No. For spontaneous help, ID, session password and a confirmation on the other PC are enough. The Host is only meant for unattended access.

Does unattended access work without the Host?

Yes, with a limitation. Unattended access can also be switched on in the Portable. Then the Portable has to be running and Windows unlocked. Only the Host also reaches a locked PC.

How do I remove the Host again?

Via Windows Settings > Apps > EZZE Remote Host > Uninstall. The service is stopped and removed. To be completely sure, switch off unattended access first.

Does the Host have its own ID?

Yes. The Host has its own ID and its own permanent password, separate from an app installed on the same PC.
