BeAnywhere Support Express was a cloud-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) remote support and system monitoring solution primarily used by IT departments and managed service providers (MSPs). Originally developed by Multiplicar Negocios, the platform was acquired by SolarWinds in 2015, rebranded under the MSP Anywhere suite, and its legacy code continues to exist today under N-able Take Control.
The primary capabilities, legacy technical details, and history of the platform include: Core Functionality
Remote Desktop Control: Allowed IT technicians to securely view and control the screens of Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac computers.
System Management: Enabled technicians to exchange files, run diagnostic scripts, and view hardware or software configurations.
Reconnection Protocols: Supported restarting a machine and automatically logging back into the operating system, even if the remote system was booted into Safe Mode.
Unattended Access: Provided tools to manage and maintain remote computers even when no user was actively sitting at the device. Technical Architecture & Security
Network Navigation: Used proprietary peer-to-peer (P2P) networking protocols designed to bypass local firewalls and complex NAT configurations without manually changing router ports.
Encryption Standards: Secured all data transmissions via an RC4-compatible algorithm using a 2048-bit key.
Customization: Offered a portable customer-facing “Support Applet” that companies could whitelabel with their own logo, layout, and colors. Current Status and Traces
