NoMachine full changelog

NoMachine makes available an important software update of version 9, providing some notable improvements across the product suite, including multiple refinements for the NoMachine Network service. This release also adopts a new approach to how users evaluate NoMachine Enterprise software. Evaluation installations are now activated online and registered users have the possibility to generate their own 30-day evaluation licenses directly within their User Area.
Enhancements for NoMachine Network connections:
Considerable work has been done to resolve remaining cases of failed connections over NoMachine Network and make connecting over Network completely transparent to the user. When standard ports are unavailable the connection will use port 443, generally used in a corporate setting, so that no special configuration or any port opening is required.
Improved monitoring of IP address in multi-node environments:
This improvement targets Cloud Server infrastructures. When a node is configured to notify its IP to the LAN, and the Cloud Server and node are on the same LAN, the Cloud Server adjusts its configuration automatically when it detects a node has changed IP address. Vice-versa, each node detects when its Cloud Server has changed IP, and adjusts its configuration accordingly.
Restore necessary privileges on Windows at server startup:
An automatic check has been implemented for installations on Windows which can validate nx user rights on server start-up and restores them if missing. Command line options to perform this check manually if required are nxservice.exe --nxusercheckvalidity and nxservice.exe --nxuserrestorevalidity.
Improved audit logs for file transfer operations:
When operations of file transfer are logged for self-auditing purposes, the filename is now reported for easier tracking.
Enterprise evaluation software online activation:
All NoMachine Enterprise software can now be activated using a license file which is generated from the User Area. A NoMac
