What package did you download? Can you show me the link? The message shows that you have tried to install NoMachine on top of a Workstation. The installation procedure interrupts the process in that case so you don’t lose your previous installation by installing the wrong product.
Hi, the best thing for you to do would be to gather logs and submit them to us so we can see what’s happening.

Submit them to issues[at]nomachine[dot]com and one of our developers will be in touch with you.
I advise the Workstation. This allows 4 virtual Linux desktops https://www.nomachine.com/terminal-server
Hi Jcar, there is a TR open on this now https://www.nomachine.com/TR07L04490
The forums are only for users of version 4 😉 so I cannot comment on 3.5.0 as these forums are dedicated totally to version 4. The traditional support channels (Contact Us in the footer of the website for NX Free Edition users) can probably provide further guidance.
NoMachine server for Windows is for access to the physical display of the Windows host where it is installed. If what you want is to have multiple connections each to their own desktop, this is terminal services for Windows. Microsoft’s EULA is rather restrictive on that (which is why we don’t offer this functionality), unlike Linux (see https://www.nomachine.com/forums/topic/multiple-connections). Alternatively, you could virtualize the Windows desktop using a hypervisor technology (VMware, Virtualbox etc) and then install NoMachine on each of the VMs. That way your users would each have access to their own physical desktop (running on virtual machines).
If you want to host Windows OS as a desktop service you will need a hypervisor such as VMware, Virtualbox or another. On it you install NoMachine Enterprise Desktop for Windows, and your users will get access by installing the NoMachine client on their devices/PCs. It’s still not clear to me how you want to use the Volume ID function in conjuntion with NoMachine. Perhaps this is more of a question for pre-sales. Why don’t you contact our sales team with all the details about your environment and what you would like to achieve? https://www.nomachine.com/contact-request
@venkats, yes it does. You can use the NoMachine GUI wizard to configure the session. Open the GUI, click ‘New’ at the top, select ‘SSH’ in the drop down selection (choice is between NX or SSH) and then the rest should be self-explanatory….
@vicntc, this is a different problem to the one your are experiencing. Please use https://www.nomachine.com/forums/topic/cannot-create-the-home-directory-for-the-nx-user as the correct thread. Thanks.
@johng we need a further set of logs from you if that’s possible. We sent you an email, but perhaps you didn’t receive it, so we just resent it.
@vicntc, this is a different problem to the one your are experiencing. Please use https://www.nomachine.com/forums/topic/cannot-create-the-home-directory-for-the-nx-user as the correct thread. Thanks.The free version for Linux does not provide the virtual desktop functionality. The Workstation would most likely be suitable for your needs.
I have also edited article AR10K00702 to make it clearer.
Point 2)… The virtual desktop functionality is not available in the free NoMachine for Linux. Workstation supports virtual desktops.
Hi David, you need a product with the virtual desktop functionality which allows individual multiple Linux desktops to run on the same host. Each user can have their own personal ‘virtual’ Linux desktop according to how the Administrator has configured it. The virtual desktop functionality is available in all the Linux products with exception of Enterprise Desktop and the free package:
