How can I access Manager?
You have single-sign-on (SSO) access to Manager through the x360 Portal Dashboard.
Where did the RMC go?
The Remote Access Console (RMC) was the centralized management dashboard previously used for BRC and Fusion products. The RMC has been integrated into x360Recover Manager, and Manager's dashboard now provides the tools previously available in the RMC.
Can I continue using the Global Management Portal (GMP)?
Yes; the GMP will continue to exist until all Direct-to-Cloud management functionality is fully available within Manager.
Can I perform client management and license provisioning from Manager?
No; this functionality is not yet available in Manager. Please continue using the Licensing Portal for client management and license provisioning.
