New features

• Web Connector - use TeamViewer via web browser: Through the newly developed web client you can now control remote computers via a web browser. The remote control works with Adobe Flash 9. Thanks to that TeamViewer 4 does not require Active X or any other security-critical components. Therefore, the web client is the perfect solution for environments in which no executables are allowed to be run or installed, for remote access on the road and for working from Linux machines. The TeamViewer Web Connector is included in TeamViewer Premium.
• Browser based 1:n presentations: Now also browser based presentations are possible. Your presentation attendees only need a web browser with Adobe Flash 9. Multiple attendees can join an online presentation at the same time (up to 3 in the Business version and up to 10 if you have a Premium license).
• Partner list with online status: With the new TeamViewer partner system you can establish single-click connections to partners and computers you connect to on a regular basis. Aside from that the partner list includes a status display so that you will always see which one of your partner/computers is online. The accounts will be saved on the TeamViewer servers and will thus be available anywhere on the globe - no matter from where you log on. The Web Connector also supports the partner system.
• Improved performance: Changes in the transfer protocol along with improved caching and compression methods make the new TeamViewer 4 substantially faster.
• Displaying remote system information: Retrieve detailed system information with a single mouse click.
• Changing the screen resolution remotely: The resolution of the remote screen can now be easily adjusted during a running session - to better fit the remote screen to your own screen or to increase the performance.

Licenses, Updates and downward compatibility

• TeamViewer 4 users can connect to TeamViewer 3 without any restrictions. The software is fully downward compatible.
• A connection vice versa, i.e. from TeamViewer 3 to 4 is for technical as well as license reasons not possible.
• All customers who have bought a license after October 01, 2008 can permanently use their license key - the update for all those customers is for free.
