EMCO Remote Installer

What EMCO Remote Installer is

EMCO Remote Installer centrally audits software and deploys packages across Windows PCs connected to a local network. It can remotely install, uninstall, or repair EXE, MSI, and MSP packages. Deployments run silently and in parallel, and target PCs do not need client software installed beforehand. Administrators can select computers directly or form dynamic groups using conditions such as domain, workgroup, computer name, organizational unit, operating system, and installed software. The inventory gathers operating system and installed-application information in a central database and can track changes between scans. A deployment can combine multiple install, uninstall, or repair steps and include custom actions before or after deployment. Professional users can save reusable deployment and audit tasks for manual runs or scheduled one-time and recurring execution. The Free Edition costs nothing and supports up to 5 remote PCs at a time and up to 5 packages in a multi-step deployment. Professional Edition (Single Copy) costs $399, paid once, plus tax or VAT depending on the buyer’s country; Professional Edition (Unlimited Copies) costs $595, paid once. Professional licenses are perpetual for version 6, with minor updates included and major upgrades available at a discounted price. The software is for Windows; remote deployment requires administrative rights and standard Windows networking services and ports on target PCs.
