Client ID
The client ID is a unique identifier assigned to a user account the first time a user logs in to a
computer and opens the
AnywhereUSB Manager
. During this process, the
AnywhereUSB Manager
creates a secure identity certificate that is associated with the client ID. This certificate is used to
validate your user account with the Hub.
After a user has created a client ID for their user account, the computer is able to connect to the Hubs
that recognize that client ID.
