The _demo_ limits the user with a maximum of allowed sessions. The unrestricted software has a modest licensing fee. Entirely reasonable considering the target audience.

That’s fine but why not just stick with open source PuTTY instead of switching to some commercial proprietary software.

Mobaxterm comes with a few extra goodies, like having a local xserver to run remote programs locally on windows, and it works out of the box. It also supports VNC, mosh, and others, so its a handy all in one. I purchased once to support, and i flip between putty amd moba for no reason.

correction/clarification: run UI locally (xwindows) not execute.

I really wouldn't know... wasn't advocating anything - just clarifying the deal with that software.

Oh I didn’t know that. I don’t use that feature. Fair point though.
