Both options contain full host, remote control, and file transfer functionality. However, the Professional installation option also includes the pcAnywhere Packager and option sets functionality.

If you have a previous version installed
You must uninstall previous versions of pcAnywhere before installing this version. pcAnywhere performs this procedure automatically during the installation process. Before removing the previous version, pcAnywhere confirms whether you want to preserve existing configuration data. This configuration data includes host and remote connection items. However, because of the enhanced security features in pcAnywhere, existing caller properties are no longer valid and must be reconfigured.
For more information, see
“Setting up caller accounts” on page 96.
