There is not a native iOS Acctivate.  However, the iTunes App Store offers Remote Desktop apps.  You can install a Remote Desktop app on your device, then configure a connection to either your Desktop PC or a Terminal Server on your work network.  The windows in Acctivate work well on all tablets with a screen of 7" or larger. All of the below methods could also be used if you'd like to access the Acctivate Desktop app on an Android tablet.

Microsoft Remote Desktop

Microsoft has published their Remote Desktop app for all platforms.  This is the official Remote Desktop app from Microsoft.  It should be the most stable for accessing your Windows desktop or server computer.  The Microsoft app offers a simple mechanism for pan/zoom and a button to toggle the keyboard.  However, this app will require your IT/network support to set up a secure Remote Desktop gateway or port forwarding to access your work computer outside of your firewall.

You can download the Microsoft Remote Desktop app in the Mac App Store, or iTunes App Store.

WYSE Pocket Cloud
