Antimalware and antivirus software compatibility

You can connect to QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise Hosting Service through one of three paths, depending on your operating system and preference: on the web, through Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client, or through a Java-based client.

Option 1: Web

On the Right Networks website, click the login button at the top of the homepage. Sign in to your account with the username and password you received when you signed up. The client software will download to your device automatically.

System Requirements

• Properly configured Internet connection (56K or higher; broadband recommended)
• Windows 8, 8.1, 10 or 11
• Microsoft Internet Explorer browser with ActiveX controls enabled
• 386 or newer Intel-compatible central processing unit (CPU)
• At least 4MB available disk space

Option 2: Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client Software

This option works via a software client that you download to your Windows or Macintosh computer.

For Windows

The Remote Desktop software you’ll need is built into Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. For Windows XP, you must download Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Connection client.

System Requirements

• Properly configured Internet connection (56K or higher; broadband recommended)
• PC running Windows XP SP3 or later (Windows XP SP3, Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8)
• 386 or newer Intel-compatible CPU
• At least 4MB available disk space

For Mac OS X

Download Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Connection client software for Intel-based Macs or for PowerPC-based Macs.

System Requirements

• Properly configured Internet connection (56K or higher; broadband recommended)

• PowerPC or Intel CPU
• At least 3MB available disk space

Option 3: Java Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Client

We make this option available for people who use Linux and other non-Windows, non-Macintosh operating systems. It provides only limited functionality, however, and Right Networks does not provide support for this configuration.

Various Java RDP clients can connect to the service. The clients properJavaRDP and rdesktop, have been shown to work.

Supported RDP Clients

• Windows – RDP client version 5.2 or newer (version 6.0 or higher recommended).
• Mac – RDP client 2.1.1 or newer (version 8.0 or higher recommended).
• Mobile Devices – Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0 or higher for Android or iOS. Other 3rd party RDP applications may work, but have not been tested by Right Networks.
