Migration

From AnyDesk to WinDesk

Swiss hosting, hardware-bound tokens, Pi support — and a pricing model without bundle tiers. Here's what the switch looks like.

Step by step

Create Pro account

Open a Pro account at app.windesk.ch/register. 14 days free without a credit card.

Export device list

AnyDesk web console → «Address Book» → CSV export. Concierge onboarding (CHF 490) imports it including groups.

Install WinDesk Host

Alongside AnyDesk on target devices. Both don't interfere. Cross-platform: Windows + Mac + Linux + Pi.

2–4-week test phase

Move sessions to WinDesk, keep AnyDesk on standby. Verify reliability + feature parity for your use cases.

Cutover

Cancel AnyDesk licenses, optionally uninstall host software. WinDesk audit trail takes over seamlessly.

Frequently asked questions

Where is WinDesk clearly better than AnyDesk?

Swiss hosting (instead of DE), hardware-bound tokens via Secure Enclave / TPM, multi-session tabs natively, Pi arm64 as an equal platform, Apple-notarised Mac builds. Details on the alternative page.

Where does AnyDesk lead?

Self-hosting (AnyDesk Custom Client), longer market maturity, broader mobile apps. If that is mandatory: AnyDesk remains a good choice.

How long does the migration take?

2–4 weeks of parallel operation for a typical MSP setup. Concierge onboarding shortens the preparation to 1 week.
