New Features

Mix Windows Support

Mix Windows support improves usability by allowing the windows of applications running locally on the client computer to be interleaved with the windows of applications running in a GO-Global session. When users activate the window of an application running in a GO-Global session, only the activated window will come to the foreground. The z-order of windows belonging to other applications running locally and in the GO-Global session will be unaffected.

User and Group-Based Application Publishing

User and Group-based application publishing allows administrators to publish applications to individual users, groups, and organizational units (Ous).

Session and Process Search

With the Admin Console’s new Search button, administrators can quickly locate the session and processes of a specific user and eliminate the need for the Admin Console to simultaneously display all sessions and processes that are running on a farm of GO-Global Hosts.

Localization Support

Text that is displayed to end users can be translated into users' native languages. This includes text displayed by GO-Global's Logon and Program Window applications and messages displayed by GO-Global clients (i.e., AppController and the GO-Global Web App and its associated web pages). 

GO-Global HealthCheck Request

Third-party load balancers and monitoring tools can test the health of GO-Global Hosts by sending a healthCheck request to the Application Publishing Service.

New Universal Printer Driver

Version 6.3.1 includes a new Universal Printer Driver that improves print quality and speed and greatly simplifies printing for both users and administrators. Users running AppController for Windows can access and use all the settings of their printers without requiring printer drivers to be installed on GO-Global Hosts.

  • In most cases, this eliminates the need to:
    • Enhanced Printing and More Customization
    • Install native Windows printer drivers on GO-Global Hosts
    • Find alternatives to Type 4 printer drivers
    • Map printer drivers
    • Configure printer settings on GO-Global Hosts

Improved Support for Large Server Farms

Application Publishing Service enhancements improve the reliability of communication between Application Hosts and Application Host Managers.
