Presented Apps
This solution replaced the previous MyApps solution. Use this service if you want to run common presented applications (ie Word, Excel, IE) from your personal iOS, Android or Windows devices. Unlike the retired MyDesk Direct Connect, you do NOT need to use the MyAccess Portal to access Presented Apps after the initial setup in the Horizon client.
Supported Configurations
While there are several systems that this solution should work on, Progressive engineering only tests the most common setups. We support the following options through our Progressive Support Center:
- Maximum resolution is 4K (3840 X 2160) and only one monitor is supported, lower resolutions (1920 X 1080) will allow for multiple monitors.
- Windows 10 (Note: the Horizon Client app in the Windows Store is NOT supported)
- Mac OSX: Current version of the OS or one version behind (N-1)
- iOS: Current Version of the OS or one version behind (N-1)
- Android: Current Version of the OS or one version behind (N-1)
Although other options should work, we are not testing upgrades against them; support on anything other than the bulleted options above is best effort.
Prerequisites

Frequently Asked Questions
Is printing to my home printer allowed?
Progressive's security policy does not allow printing to home printers.
What time zone is Presented Apps in?
Presented Apps functions in the Eastern time zone and there are no plans for support of other time zones. Please be aware of the time zone differences between your local PC and Presented Apps as there may be issues with email or calendar entries.
Troubleshooting
I’m on a Progressive PC and I can’t find the Horizon Client in my Start Menu.
On occasion, we find that a Progressive machine has been missed in the software deployment process. To correct this, please submit a Software Request to have the software added to your machine.
My Horizon Client tries to launch an application and just goes away.
If you are on a personal machine, it is possible you have some corruption with your Horizon Client install. Delete the app and reinstall it.
