Instead of running Enterprise Studio Online in your web browser, you can also use the Appstream Windows Client application. Running Enterprise Studio Online using the Windows Client almost works like running Enterprise Studio as a local client installation. Using the Windows Client offers the following benefits:
- Support for multiple monitors and keyboard shortcuts during streaming sessions.
- You can copy and paste text, views and files between Enterprise Studio and your local device, for example to Word or PowerPoint.
- You can use your local printers.
Use of the Windows Client needs to be enabled in the configuration settings of your Horizzon environment by a System Administrator user. Once enabled, you only need to download and install the Windows Client, and enable use of the application on your Horizzon user manage page.
Downloading the Windows Client application is for free. Bizzdesign does not charge additional costs for using the application nor does it affect your Bizzdesign license.
Please take note that the Windows Client is only available for Windows.
Although direct copying and pasting is possible between Enterprise Studio Online and local Microsoft Office applications, keep in mind that you are still working in a hosted environment, meaning that the following limitation still applies:
- An ADOdb connection is used for the Excel import and export using an Excel Connection model, unless you have activated the use of Microsoft Office. For use of Microsoft Office, please refer to Use of Microsoft Office in Enterprise Studio Online.

If you want to disable the Windows Client again and return to running Enterprise Studio Online in your web browser, clear the Use Windows Client check box, and save the changes.
You can immediately start a session of Enterprise Studio Online using the Windows Client.
Starting an Enterprise Studio Online session using the Windows Client

If you have not installed the Windows Client and try to start Enterprise Studio Online (after enabling use of the Windows Client), a message will appear saying that the Windows Client is not installed:
