New user ?    READ & DO THIS FIRST :-

Windows RD Setup...

If you are using a device that runs Windows (laptop, desktop, tablet etc.), then the FIRST TIME you call RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) from this page you first need to download and run file HfveRd.exe.  Click on the following link, then click "Save..." or "Keep" (depending on browser type) to download HfveRd.exe.

Download HfveRd.exe for remote desktop login

HfveRd.exe will add custom registry key 'hfverd'; and copy itself to C:\Program Files\HfveRd\HfveRd.exe.  You may need to follow your own procedures for file downloading, depending on OS, browser, and settings.  If you are using Windows Home then you may need to install the Remote Desktop App before using RDC.

After downloading it, open the folder you saved it in ("Show in folder"), right-click on HfveRd.exe, then click "Run as administrator".  Click "Yes" to install HfveRd.  It should report back that HfveRd has been registered.

The FIRST TIME that you click to launch an RDC login, your browser may ask you to confirm that you want to open the link.  You can check the box to always allow it.  Then click Open, and your RDC session will begin.

(If asked to confirm the Remote Desktop Connection the first time that you connect to a server, then do so.)

Key Ctrl-F5 to refresh the table above (F5 alone may not work).  Then click on an unused login on a nearby server (for minimum lag).  If no free logins are available, pick a free login on the next nearest server.  Your HFVE RDC session should then start.  (When you have finished, close the RDC session and return to this page.)

N.B. Your HFVE session will close after one hour, or after 10 minutes without user input, whichever is earlier.

ADDITIONAL WAYS OF USING HFVE VIA WINDOWS RDC :-

N.B. CHECK LOGIN IS AVAILABLE BEFORE USING IT VIA A RDC SHORTCUT !

Once you have used HFVE via RDC a few times, you may wish to launch logins via shortcuts. To do this, you first need to generate 6 .rdp files that tell the Remote Desktop Connection program how to connect to each login.

Fortunately the program HfveRd.exe that you downloaded and is in C:\Program Files\HfveRd can do just that - double-click it, say "No" to installing HfveRd, then "Yes" to creating 6 .rdp login files in your Documents folder.

You can then launch an RDC session by double-clicking on one of the six .rdp files (in your Documents folder) for the region and login you prefer e.g. double-click "hfve5East.rdp" to use login "hfve5" for the East region.

If you prefer, you can right-click on an .rdp file and choose "Send to > Desktop (create shortcut)".  You will then be able to trigger the login by double-clicking on the icon on your Windows desktop.
