Hi, the equivalent to the free version for a commercial environment is Enterprise Desktop (installed on the VMs), so we do have a product that caters for your needs (enabling access to virtual machines that you are hosting 😉 ) The moment you start using it for monetary gain, it is no longer personal use IMHO, but you can talk to Sales and see what they say – https://www.nomachine.com/contact-request.
You can compare the two products here: https://www.nomachine.com/remote-access-for-everyone
The users that are going to access your virtual machines using NoMachine can either use the free version or if they prefer the can install Enterprise Client (also freely available to download). It doesn’t matter.
My two cents, if you are going to create 10-15 VMs and provide access to all/some of them using NoMachine, you should buy a pack of 10. That works out at $24.50 per year.
Hi Eric,
have you looked at the tutorial here? https://www.nomachine.com/getting-started-with-nomachine#internet
When you got the IP address from your remote computer to access it over the LAN, you should have seen an IP address for access over the Internet (see fig. 9 and fig. 10).
@kvic, can you please check your email inbox for further instructions.
A ‘connection refused’ error is usually raised if there are no services listening on that port, or if a firewall is rejecting the connection. Can you check whether you can connect with another client to the same server (I take it that this computer is your personal PC). It might be that your university doesn’t allow this type of access from outside?
Hi, compare the free and Enterprise Desktop option here: https://www.nomachine.com/remote-access-for-everyone
it says 44$/year, but it gives different pricing for different OS, what does this mean?
Hm, I’m not sure where you are looking. Perhaps you are seeing the pricing for the packs of 10 licenses which are geared towards corporate use? For one computer it’s enough to install one license. If you check the link I pasted, you can see it costs $44.50 regardless of whether it’s Windows, Mac, Linux or Raspberry 🙂
what should I purchase?
If you are connecting simultaneously from two computers/devices (whether it’s Linux, Windows or other supported operating system) you will need Enterprise Desktop for Linux on the remote computer you want to access. (I say Linux because you wrote that you are connecting to a Linux computer). NoMachine’s licensing model is what we call “per server” and that means the license is installed on the remote computer you want to connect to. So your set up will be:
2 clients on which you install the free version or alternatively Enterprise Client.
1 Enterprise Desktop on the remote computer you are connecting to (if you want more than one connection) OR the free version if one connection is enough.
Take a look the FAQs here: https://www.nomachine.com/faq, the first five are probably the answers you are looking for 🙂
Two users connecting at the same time to a remote computer counts as two connections. With the free version installed on the remote computer you and your friend will not be able to connect at the same time, only separately. The free version allows one connection, so if you want two connections or more to the remote computer being, try Enterprise Desktop.
How do I share my desktop with another user if I have the free version installed?
https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00703Thanks for letting us know. Just so other users can easily find how to change the default desktop when launching a NoMachine virtual desktop session, the correct article is:

https://www.nomachine.com/AR04K00667It’s not a question of missing documentation about multi-touch events, it’s that multi-touch events are not handled at all. As I wrote earlier, we first need to first evaluate how such events are received to be able to send them to the server in order to add support for multi-touch commands. Definitely something to explore further.
When NoMachine prompts you to insert the username and password, you need to insert the credentials of the account of the Windows machine. Remote login to Windows with empty password is forbidden by Windows policies: https://www.nomachine.com/AR05L00802.
But it is possible to connect without using system password. There are two ways to achieve it.
1. Connect with using private key authentication (https://www.nomachine.com/AR02L00785).
2. Enable NoMachine database. To do it – edit server.cfg as an administrator (in the default it’s located in the %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\NoMachine\etc directory).Uncomment and change the keys to following values:
EnableUserDB 1
EnablePassDB 1More details you can find here: https://www.nomachine.com/DT02O00125#10.1.
You should submit the logs from the client and server sides (assuming you have access to this machine). This could help us to understand why you can only get sporadic access.
In order to extract the logs, please see the following article: https://www.nomachine.com/DT10O00163#1.3
You can send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com making sure you reference the topic as the subject or within the body of your email.
Thanks!
Users should update to the latest version and report back if they continue to have issues.Edit – there is a patch available but this did not make the latest release (6.9.2). Users experiencing this issue should contact us.
So, let’s call your two iMacs A and B. You can connect from B to A over the Internet without any issues, but when connecting from A to B, B is never available (i.e. you’ve never successfully connected)?
If that’s the case, it sounds like a WIFI or router issue on the side of the where your iMac ‘B’ is. You can look in the client side logs for this message “‘A connection timeout has occurred while trying to connect to ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxx’ on port ‘4000’. The issue could either be caused by a networking problem, by a firewall or NAT blocking incoming traffic or by a wrong server address. Please verify your configuration and try again.’”
