In the late 1990s and early 2000s, before the rise of TeamViewer, AnyDesk, and built-in Windows Remote Desktop, system administrators relied on lightweight, efficient third-party tools to manage servers and workstations remotely.

RAC often shared similar naming conventions and functionality, but users of the freeware or "with patch" versions had to be careful.

While it might still run on Windows XP or Windows 7, it is not recommended for use in modern, internet-connected production environments due to potential security vulnerabilities. Use isolated VMs (VirtualBox/VMware)
