HP Anyware is reaching end of life

Move Your Studio Off HP Anyware. Keep the Picture.

HP has stopped selling HP Anyware (formerly Teradici) and set its end-of-life dates. Splashtop Performance streams your GPU workstations in 4K with 4:4:4 color, full Wacom pen support and USB passthrough — no PCoIP cards, no zero clients. Artists connect with the Splashtop app or straight from a web browser. Try it free on your own machines.

The HP Anyware Dates That Matter

Trusted Zero Client & Trust Center support ends Oct 31, 2026

26

days left. After that, zero clients stay on firmware 25.10 with no updates, patches or support.

391

Days until the last HP Anyware renewal

Oct 31, 2027. Renewals are capped at one-year terms, with support ending Oct 31, 2028.

Oct 31, 2029

HP Anyware end of life

Maintenance for multi-year terms ends. Until then: no new features and no guarantee of support for future operating systems.

May 7, 2026

HP Anyware end of sale

No new customers. Existing customers can still add seats and renew.

Using Wacom tablets over Anyware?

Wacom has told customers it can't guarantee HP's support after end of life and recommends evaluating its Wacom Bridge partners. Splashtop and Wacom developed Wacom Bridge together, so pressure, tilt and pen buttons carry over to the remote workstation.

HP Anyware vs. Splashtop

PCoIP set the bar for image quality. Splashtop matches what creative teams need from it without the cards, brokers and zero-client hardware.

Common Questions

Do I need PCoIP cards or zero clients?

No. Splashtop is software on the workstation, and users connect with the Splashtop app or from a web browser, so a laptop, desktop, iPad or Chromebook can replace a zero client.

Can I keep HP Anyware running while I test?

Yes. Splashtop installs alongside your existing setup, so you can compare both on the same workstation.

Which Splashtop plan do creative teams need?

Performance adds 4:4:4 color, remote stylus, Wacom Bridge and USB passthrough. Enterprise adds SSO, granular access controls, logging and an on-premise option. We will help you choose.

Will my Wacom tablet work?

Yes. Wacom Bridge, developed by Wacom and Splashtop, carries pressure, tilt and pen buttons to the remote machine.

What happens to our zero clients after Oct 31, 2026?

According to HP, they keep working on firmware 25.10 but receive no further updates, patches or support.

Is Splashtop secure enough for studio work?

Splashtop is ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC certified with 256-bit AES encryption. Enterprise adds SSO, MFA, session logging and IP allowlisting. Confirm specific studio security requirements during your trial.
