'Cloudpaging' is a technology that enables apps to run on any Windows computer, without the need to fully download or install them. Cloudpaging Player is needed to launch these applications from AppsAnywhere.

Cloudpaging Player will load automatically each time you start your computer, so any apps you have launched from AppsAnywhere can be used again. You will see the Cloudpaging Player icon in the Windows taskbar (a small blue cloud).

Many apps that use Cloudpaging Player will continue to work offline for set a number of days. These apps are fully downloaded automatically, whilst you are using them.

If an app freezes or is 'Not Responding' when you lose your internet connection don't worry! Simply connect to the internet again and the app will continue to work as before.

You can check if your apps will be available offline by using the 'Work Offline' option in Cloudpaging Player. However, there is no need to enable this option in advance. If you lose your internet connection, the 'Work Offline' option is enabled automatically.
