Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

How do I connect to a target PC?

MightyViewer requires a direct connection to a remote computer. To connect with MightyViewer, make sure the target computer is running a VNC server.

  • If the target PC runs Windows, install a VNC server on it. We strongly recommend TightVNC because it provides the best performance and compatibility with MightyViewer. You can download a free copy of TightVNC from its website: https://www.tightvnc.com.
  • Virtualization systems (such as VMware and QEMU) often include built-in VNC servers, although they may not be enabled by default.

How do I activate MightyViewer?
  1. After completing the purchase process, you will receive an email with an attached license key file from our reseller (PayPro Global).
  2. Load the license key file in MightyViewer from the menu in the top-right corner: ‘Settings’ → ‘License Key’ → ‘Load License File’. After you load the license, a pop-up window will show the activation result. You may need to restart the application.
  3. After activation succeeds, you can find information about your license in the ‘Current License’ field.

Is the MightyViewer license a lifetime license or a subscription?

All currently available licenses (single-user, site, and unlimited) are lifetime licenses.

Does the single-user license allow me to monitor an unlimited number of stations?

Yes. No currently available license restricts the number of stations you can connect to, monitor, and take over.

Can I export or import settings?

Built-in export/import functionality has not been implemented yet. However, there is an efficient workaround for moving the data from one device to another.

All MightyViewer data is stored in the store.db file, which is located in MightyViewer’s application data folder under your Windows roaming profile.

You can move the data from one PC to another by copying this file and placing it in the same folder on the target PC.

We recommend stopping MightyViewer on both the source and target devices during the transfer.

Please note that this is available only for licensed instances of MightyViewer and does not work with the trial version.

Can I choose which screen to view on a machine with multiple monitors?

Unfortunately, this functionality is not available yet. As a temporary workaround, you can configure extra ports on the host side (TightVNC Server → Configuration → Extra ports) to map specific screen areas so you can monitor and control them separately.
