About Remote desktop connection
ContextCapture Engine cannot work through a Remote Desktop Connection because hardware acceleration is disabled. However you can use VNC or a remote administration software like TeamViewer.

About Windows session
Switching Windows user while ContextCapture Engine is running will cause running computations to fail because hardware acceleration is disabled when the user is not connected.

About paths with non-ASCII characters
ContextCapture does not support paths with non-ASCII characters. All specified input and output file paths must use only ASCII.
