Legacy Windows local tester
Download LocalEndpoint Connect
Version 0.2.242.0 remains available for local early-access testing. It is not the new unattended RemoteEndpoints release and has not been verified compatible with that authority model.
Remote compatibility
New Connect package required
Do not install 0.2.242.0 to evaluate unattended remote control. A newly built, signed, and independently qualified package must replace this legacy tester before that claim can be made.
