Standalone Desktops: A Quick Overview

First, let's define a Standalone Desktop in the context of DaDesktop.

You can find a useful comparison of various Desktop types there. In short, a 'Standalone' desktop is a machine that isn't necessarily tied to an active course. It operates independently—ideal for use before or after a course, or simply as a standalone tool without any course connection.
The Standalone offers remarkable flexibility in this regard.

 

 

 

Common reasons for setting up Standalone desktops:

1. Preparing training materials that you can reuse repeatedly, independent of a course, or have on hand whenever needed.
2. When you need a flexible environment—maybe with a different Operating System like Linux or Windows—to safely explore and test ideas.
    

Key Features:

1. Sharing Links provide complete access to anyone who has the link.
2. If idle, the desktop automatically shuts down after 24 hours.

Pricing:

1. Creating a desktop is free of charge.
2. Launching a desktop incurs a cost.
3. The price depends on the number of units, determined by CPU, Memory, and Disk Space. An additional fee applies for Windows.
4. When you enroll in a course as a Student or Trainer, you'll receive complimentary credits that can be applied to standalones.
5. If your standalone remains inactive for more than a month, it will be deleted.
