Overview
FalconApps allows you to access College-owned software, such as IBM SPSS Statistics and ArcPro, from your Windows computer without installing the software locally. Applications run through Cedar Crest College servers but appear and function much like applications installed directly on your computer.
Before getting started:
- Make sure Windows is fully updated.
- An internet connection is required to use FalconApps.
- If you are prompted to accept or trust a security certificate during setup or when launching an application, accept the certificate to continue.
- The FalconApps address shown in the directions below is the current address. If an older screenshot shows a different address, use the address listed in the written instructions.

Please note the URL in the article, not the screenshots.
The server may ask you to accept a certificate (it may not) - you must accept it.
Set Up FalconApps in Windows
You only need to complete this setup once on your computer.
1. Open RemoteApp and Desktop Connections
Click Start and search for: RemoteApp and Desktop Connections
Select RemoteApp and Desktop Connections from the search results.
2. Add the FalconApps Connection
In the left-hand menu, select Access RemoteApp and desktops.
When prompted for the Connection URL, enter:
https://falconapps.cedarcrest.edu/rdweb/feed/webfeed.aspx
We recommend copying and pasting the address to avoid typing errors.
Click Next.
3. Confirm the Connection
When the Ready to set up the connection screen appears, click Next again.
Windows will connect to the FalconApps server. This may take a few moments.
4. Sign In
Depending on your version of Windows, you may be prompted for your Cedar Crest credentials:
Sign in with your FalconNet full domain username:
CEDARCREST\yourusername
If that does not work (some versions of Windows do not use this), sign in with your Cedar Crest email address and FalconNet password.
For example, if your Cedar Crest email address is:
spongebob.squarepants@cedarcrest.edu
your FalconNet username is:
spongebob.squarepants
and your domain username would be:
CEDARCREST\spongebob.squarepants
You may select Remember my credentials if you do not want to enter your credentials each time.
Click OK.
5. Complete the Setup
Windows will finish configuring the FalconApps connection. This process may take several minutes.
When setup is complete, click Finish.
Using Applications in FalconApps
Once FalconApps is set up, follow the instructions for the application you want to use:
