Quick Start Guide

GO-Global Host
Following are the requirements and steps for installing and configuring the GO-Global Host. For further instructions, please
consult the Administrator Guide.

System Requirements
The GO-Global Host* requires one of the following 64-bit Windows operating systems:
 Windows Server 2019 (Standard and Datacenter)
 Windows Server 2016 (Standard and Datacenter)
 Windows Server 2012 R2 (Standard and Datacenter)
 Windows Server 2008 R2 (Standard and Enterprise)
 Windows 10 (Professional and Enterprise)
 Windows 8.1 (Professional and Enterprise)
 Windows 7 (Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise)

*GraphOn recommends Windows Server for multi-user environments.

 The GO-Global Host is supported on computers that have the latest Windows Updates installed.
 Where applicable, these platforms are supported with or without the Security Rollup Package.
 GO-Global Administrators must have administrative rights on the host to perform the installation, and the host must have
TCP/IP as a network protocol.
 Users must be able to log on interactively (locally) on the GO-Global Host. Assign local logon rights to users in Local
Security Policy, Domain Security Policy, and Domain Controller Security Policy.
 GO-Global listens on GraphOn's registered port 491 for TCP packets. Configure your external firewall and any software
firewall on the host to allow TCP port 491.
 The color depth of the client and host must be greater than 256 — 16 million or greater is recommended.

GO-Global App
The GO-Global App is available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Android, and iOS. For a complete list of supported platforms and
browsers, please see the Administrator Guide.

Configuring the GO-Global Host


Install the GO-Global Host
GO-Global is delivered as a self-extracting executable and can be installed by double-clicking gg-host.exe. When running the
host setup program, you must be logged in to an account that is a member of the computer's Administrator's group.
By default, the GO-Global Host setup installs all of the core Host components, Web components (including all the files
necessary to configure the host for browser logons) and Licensing components. You can customize the installation by clicking
the Customize button and unchecking the components you do not wish to install. Otherwise, click the Install button.
To activate GO-Global, copy your GO-Global license file(s) to the default license folder, C:\Program Files\GraphOn\GO-
Global\Licensing. To configure GO-Global to use a central license server, see the Administrator Guide.
If you opt to copy your license file(s) at a later time, you must restart the GO-Global License Manager, then the GO-Global
Application Publishing Service after copying the file(s).
Upgrading GO-Global
Before upgrading to version 6, you must upgrade the GO-Global license(s) by submitting a License Change Request via the
GraphOn portal. The version 6 host installer will not upgrade a computer that does not have a version 6 GO-Global license.
After signing in to the portal, click License Management then click License Change Request and complete the form.
After submitting the License Change Request form, a version 6 GO-Global license will be sent via email. Place the new license
file in the directory where the existing version 5 license file is stored. (The default license folder for GO-Global version 5 is
C:\Program Files\GraphOn\GO-Global\Programs.)
Remove all version 5 licenses from the Programs directory. Then restart the GO-Global License Manager.
To restart the License Manager
1. Click Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services.
2. Select GO-Global License Manager from the list of services.
3. Right-click and select Restart.
After restarting the License Manager, run the version 6 GO-Global host installer by double-clicking gg-host.exe. When
upgrading to version 6, you will be prompted to restart the computer two times. The host installer will resume automatically
after restarting. As part of the installation process, existing versions of GO-Global are removed, but Registry settings and files
are saved. The installer also moves the new license file(s) from the Programs directory to the Licensing directory.

Run the Admin Console


The Admin Console allows administrators to add and remove applications and to administer, monitor, and control client access
to the GO-Global Host. To run the Admin Console, double-click the GO-Global Admin Console icon on the desktop, or from the
Start menu, click GraphOn GO-Global | Admin Console.

Publish Applications
Applications must be published with the Admin Console before users can access them. To publish an application, click the
Applications tab and click the Add button. Browse to the executable file of the Windows application you would like to publish.
By default, the dialog opens to the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs directory. This is where the
executable files for many popular Windows applications are located.

Share Links to Published Applications


Administrators can share links to published applications for quick user access. From the Admin Console, select an application
from the list of installed applications, and click the Get Link button. The Web server address specifies the address of the web
server that is used to serve the GO-Global Web App and the GO-Global App and their supporting files to users’ browsers. The
default web server address is apps.graphon.com, which is the address of a web server hosted by GraphOn. If you plan to use
your own web server, install the GO-Global Web component on the web server and change the Web server address to the
address of your web server. Please consult the Administrator Guide for more information. Click the Copy button to copy the link
to the application, then paste the link into an email or instant message to share with users.

GO-Global Web files


The GO-Global Host setup installs the GO-Global Web files under C:\Program Files\GraphOn\GO-Global\Web.
Administrators can edit the HTML pages to modify default options and limit which clients are made available to users. During
installation, the default Web page is set to logon.html.

To install the GO-Global App, users type http:// in the browser’s Location box, followed by the host name and the GO-Global
directory. For example, http://hostname/goglobal/

If a user cancels installation of the GO-Global App, the Web App will run automatically and connect the user to the host. The Web
App allows users to run applications from a browser without installing anything on their computer, but does not offer the full set
of features that the GO-Global App does. Please consult the Administrator Guide for more information, and for instructions on
specifying URL parameters that control the GO-Global App and the Web App.
