Support for Uniface
and Thin Client Technologies
 Uniface does not verify or certify the Uniface product in
combination with products such as Remote Desktop or Citrix
 Running Uniface via Remote Desktop decreases the
Windows resources available to Uniface, which can lead to
performance/scalability issues.
 We do not deliver thin client specific support or fixes in our
Uniface product
 Only if issue can be reproduced on one of our supported
platforms is accepted by Uniface tech support.
 The only thin client solution we officially support is
Uniface Anywhere
