Understanding HWiNFO32 and its Remote Connection Limitations

HWiNFO32, a popular tool for monitoring system temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds, has several limitations when it comes to remote connections. In this article, we will delve into the details of these limitations and provide guidance on how to overcome them.

Firstly, HWiNFO32 has a maximum number of remote connections set at 50. This means that if you have multiple licenses, such as two Personal licenses, the total number of allowed connections would be 5 (from one license) plus 2 times 5 (from the second license), resulting in a total of 15 connections. Similarly, a Corporate or Engineer license allows only one connection.

When this limit is reached during runtime, the remote connection feature will automatically deactivate, and you will need to manually enable it again to continue using it. This limitation can be overcome by purchasing more licenses, which increase the remote connection limit proportionally.

It's also important to note that HWiNFO64 Pro licenses have a unique advantage in this regard. Each HWiNFO64 Pro license increases the remote connection limit by the number of licenses purchased. This makes it an attractive option for users who require multiple connections.

Another limitation of HWiNFO32 is its non-commercial use policy. The Personal license, which allows 5 computers to be monitored, does not permit commercial use. If you need to use HWiNFO32 in a commercial environment, you will need to purchase the Engineer or Corporate License, which also comes with more advanced features.

HWiNFO64 (non-Pro) has another limitation - its Shared Memory support is time-limited to 12 hours. This means that if you plan to run the tool for extended periods, you may need to restart it periodically to avoid any issues.

Finally, it's worth noting that using HWiNFO32 on 64-bit systems is possible but not recommended due to several advanced features being unavailable and limited CPU core support. If you need these features, it would be better to use the 64-bit version of the tool.

In conclusion, while HWiNFO32 has its limitations when it comes to remote connections, there are ways to overcome them. By understanding these limitations, users can make informed decisions about their license purchases and usage.
