Installing the AppStream Client App (PC)
The AppStream 2.0 Client Application for Windows allows access to Freewheel hosted applications from https://buy.strata.freewheel.com, https://sell.gotostrata.com, or https://radio.gotostrata.com. Using this app allows you to move Freewheel hosted applications to any monitor you are using just like a locally installed application. It also allows you to access workstation, network, and Google drives for download/uploading files or print to connected printers.
Note: Some IT/Admin security settings may prevent the installation of the AppStream 2.0 Client Application on your machine. During the installation if you are prompted to enter administrator credentials you will need to contact your internal IT administrator or department to install this software.
