Fixes

• Fixed an issue where logging out may not take immediate effect on Wayk Agent and Client.

Fixes

• Breaking Changes: Wayk Agent and Client no longer share configuration data (in most cases). Wayk Agent uses the global configuration, Wayk Client uses the per-user configuration, and configuration is no longer inherited.
• Custom personal passwords (SRP) are now stored in the system credential store (Microsoft Windows Credential Store, Apple macOS Keychain and Secret Store on Linux). Existing custom passwords will be migrated into the system credential store the first time you run Wayk Agent.
• Software license agreement is updated to the November 2020 version.
• Updated branding for Wayk Agent and Wayk Client.

Fixes

• Fixed a data corruption issue that forced Devolutions to cap file transfer speeds on all platforms. File transfer speed is now uncapped.

• Fixed an issue that could prevent properly upgrading to Wayk Agent on Windows if Wayk Now is running in another user session.

Wayk Now becomes two distinct applications: Wayk Agent and Wayk Client.

With the 2020.3.x release, Wayk Now will no longer include a single program that can be used as both a client and a server (agent). Following the current visual separation of functionality in the Wayk Now interface, the “Allow Remote Control” section has become the new Wayk Agent, and the “Take Remote Control” section has become the new Wayk Client. In the past, the “Remote Control Mode” option was used to block part of the application. Licensing has also been simplified: while Wayk Client requires a license, Wayk Agent doesn’t need a license. This way, you can make large scale deployments of Wayk Agent without having to worry about the additional burden of complex license management.

Wayk Bastion (formerly Wayk Den), Wayk Client, Wayk Agent

• Wayk Bastion is the centralized server where Wayk Agent and Wayk Client connect.
• Wayk Agent is installed on all machines registered for management by Wayk Bastion.
• Wayk Client is used by technicians to connect to machines managed through Wayk Bastion.

Licensing Example: A Managed Service Provider (MSP) would deploy a single Wayk Bastion server in a network location reachable by all of its customers. All machines meant to be managed centrally in Wayk Bastion on the customer sites have Wayk Agent installed. Technicians use Wayk Client to connect to Wayk Agent through Wayk Bastion. Out of all three, only Wayk Client requires a license.
