Getting Started with VMobility Remote Access - Administrators


Welcome to the Getting Started section. When you sign-up for VMobility Remote Access, you are designated as the VMobility Administrator for the account. You will be the one responsible for managing the VMobility network. This section will show you how to sign in to the VMobility Administrator Manager, the area in which you add, delete and suspend users/systems.

You also have the option to watch a “How to Flash Demo” or download a PDF version of the instructions. We recommend you go directly to the “Getting Started Members” section after you add member/PC’s to your VMobility network.

NOTE: VMobility user-licenses can be redistributed, meaning that you can add and delete users and reuse the licenses. An example would be adding someone to your network to share files or a presentation, and them deleting them, thus freeing up a user license.

  3. Enter the Member Name, a Password, Confirm the Password, and provide an Email address for the person you are adding. Make sure you enter an active email address, as an email invitation with instructions will be sent to the email address you use. If all the PCs in the network are yours (e.g. your notebook, home PC, work PC etc) then you can use the same email address for each member.

    Select Add when you are done.


    In this example, Jane has been added to this network.


    Note: If you or the person you added to the network does not receive an email Iinvitation, check the SPAM or Junk folder. This could happen depending on the email settings.

    We are now adding another member to the network. (Follow the previous steps above to add additional members.)You can specify the type of system the member is using. In this case “johnc” will be using his Laptop PC to connect to the network.


    Jane and johnc are both added to the network.
