How do I access AppsAnywhere?

To access the entire library, install AppsAnywhere on your device, and you're ready to go!

When you first visit AppsAnywhere, sign in with your George Brown ID number, password, and multi-factor authentication (MFA). When prompted, choose “It’s my first time using AppsAnywhere on this device,” then click and run the downloaded file and complete the installation. (You will download both AppsAnywhere Client 1.2.0 and Cloudpaging Player 9.04.)

When you launch an application from the website, it installs a client and Cloudpaging Player. It will only do the installation once. Cloudpaging Player is like a player with a list of all the applications you have launched from AppsAnywhere.
