Introduction

1-to-many actions is a premium feature included with Splashtop On-Prem Gateway. Simplify endpoint management by instantly executing or scheduling tasks to multiple endpoints simultaneously. 1-to-many allows you to use the web console to select one of the below action types, set up an instant or scheduled action, and select which computers you would like to perform that action on.

 

Note: If you were using 1-to-Many features (e.g., Android APK install, File Dispatch). When you upgrade Gateway to v3.38.x or later, please follow the steps below to ensure these features continue functioning after the upgrade.

    • For online license users:
      Go to System → License → Check Update to reactivate the feature.

    • For offline license users:
      Please contact your sales representative to update your license file.
