What is a legacy license?
Legacy licenses are the older, user-based licenses, meaning you paid for the number of users. These licenses are being replaced by the connection-based model for better flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency.
Why upgrade now?
- Legacy licenses will no longer include updates or new features.
- my.anydesk I, the older platform, will soon be phased out.
- Transitioning now ensures uninterrupted access and full functionality.
Benefits of connection-based licenses
-
Flexibility: Only pay for the connections you need instead of the number of users. This is ideal for teams where not everyone requires access simultaneously, making it a more cost-effective license model.
-
Scalability: Add connections as your business grows without restructuring user allocations.
-
Efficiency: Handle multiple active connections seamlessly, ensuring smooth operation with no latency or disconnections.
Who Benefits Most?
This model is particularly beneficial for:
-
Dynamic teams with varying access needs
-
Organizations with shift work or shared devices
-
Businesses seeking a cost-effective and scalable solution

FAQs
What is a concurrent connection?
A concurrent connection is an active remote connection between two devices at the same time. With the new license model, you pay for the number of connections you need, rather than the number of users.
How many devices can I control simultaneously?
This depends on your license. Check your plan to confirm the number of concurrent connections allowed.
Do legacy licenses include future updates?
No, legacy licenses do not include updates introduced in the new model. We recommend upgrading to access the latest features.
