Ok.&nbsp; I think they had that feature in Dameware when I used it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;thx&nbsp;Roger

There was a thread about this very thing from 2008 and we still don't have the ability to lock the host mouse &amp; keyboard!&nbsp;Is this in the works? Can we please get this??

I apologize,&nbsp;for various security reasons we do not currently allow for the automatic locking of a host's keyboard and mouse control.&nbsp;&nbsp; You can still lock the keyboard manually if you need to, once you connect into the client PC.

Thank you for the response.&nbsp; I suppose I'm just confused why it is possible with regular LogMeIn to lock the host keyboard &amp; mouse but not LogMeIn Rescue.&nbsp; Another such scenario is why it is possible to remotely control a Mac using regular LogMeIn but again, not LogMeIn Rescue.&nbsp;Could you explain?

The main difference&nbsp;with&nbsp;services such as Rescue and GoToAssist is that&nbsp;we've seen a lot of fraudulent use where someone in another country uses the software to improperly gain access to someone's computer based on fabricated corporate representation.&nbsp; In these cases we can only mitigate so much, and&nbsp;felt that automatic locking of the local controls would become a larger security threat.
