About StarNet

StarNet Communications has been a leading developer of X Windows solutions since 1989. After establishing X-Win32 as the de facto standard in the higher education market during the early to mid-1990s -- 150 unlimited Campus Site Licenses worldwide -- X-Win32 has become of one the top three PC X servers in the government and commercial sectors as well.

Unlike its major rivals, Exceed (Hummingbird) and Reflection-X (WRQ/Attachmate), X-Win32 offers a highly focused PC X server that offers superior performance and productivity features, stability, ease of use and low cost (40% or better in most cases).

StarNet also delivers unequaled customer support. Our state-of-the-art engineering infrastructure allows us to fix problems and make a new release available quickly (overnight in many cases). As our testimonials page shows, StarNet customers consistently rate their X-Win32 experience as the best in the industry.




Installing Licenses for Multiple Users

In order to make X-Win32 compatible out of the box with Windows Vista, the license.config file is no longer stored in C:\Program Files\StarNet\X-Win32\ after version 8.2

Microsoft Vista does not allow direct access to the Program Files folder and creates Virtual Folder Mockups when trying to connect. In previous versions before 8.2, a user would install his license on Vista and then would be prompted to reinstall the license on restart of X-Win32.

To Install a license for all users

  1. Install the X-Win32 license.

On Windows XP the license is stored in
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\StarNet\X-Win32\License.config

On Windows Vista, the license is stored in
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\StarNet\X-Win32\License.config

  1. Copy the License.config file from it’s current location and place it in

C:\Program Files\StarNet\X-Win32 version\


Now all users on the system will be able to access the license
