=== Remote Administration ===

When your SignMatic has no desktop controls available (like in most scenarios),
it is recommended to install a system-level remote desktop service like [https://www.tightvnc.com/download.php TightVNC]
because applications for SignMatic can only be installed using desktop UAC access.

The default startup of SignMatic remote control does not allow to control UAC 
components, or any window handles that have been started with another security context.
