Test the workflows that matter
Start with your actual session folders, macros, printing and programs that drive the emulator. Imports and protocol support do not prove an application workflow on their own. Run side by side on your hosts and record what passed, what needs a small change and what needs a person.

1,900 profiles at Union Pacific
Union Pacific imported 1,900 session profiles and 340 keyboard maps and moved 7,800 users in eight weeks, against a nine-month estimate to rebuild them by hand.

Desktop and Enterprise remain $69 and $75 per user per year, with a 100-user minimum. Additional products have their own entitlements. For fewer users or a mixed deployment, contact WND Software rather than assuming an unlisted plan.

The emulator underneath
The capabilities customers switched for in the first place.
Copy as table
Select any screen region and paste it into Excel with the columns intact and leading zeros kept. Field-aware copy and paste everywhere else.
License usage dashboard
Who used WND Terminal in the last 30, 60 and 90 days, by person and department. Runs inside your network, so you right-size seats on facts.
One-click import
Drag in session and keymap files from PCOMM, Reflection, BlueZone, IBM i Access Client Solutions or tn5250. Extra!, PASSPORT, PowerTerm, HostExplorer, TN3270 Plus, QWS3270, Vista tn3270 and PuTTY sessions import too, and Rumba profiles through Reflection Desktop. What comes across
Keyboard fidelity
PF1–PF24, PA1–PA3, Clear, Reset, Attn, SysReq, Field Exit and Field+/−. A keymap editor with presets that mirror familiar emulators.
Workspace
Tabbed sessions, split panes, a Ctrl+K command palette, crisp scalable fonts, dark mode, hotspots and a clear status line.
Printing and file transfer
TN3270E printer sessions and IBM i printers to any printer or PDF, print-screen with headers and footers, IND$FILE transfers, and an FTP, FTPS and SFTP client for z/OS data sets, JES jobs and IBM i libraries.
Screen history and autocomplete
Go back through the last 100 screens of a session with Ctrl+K, send recent typing again, and press Ctrl+Space to accept a suggestion. Passwords are never kept. How it works
Central configuration
Set connections, keymaps and rules once with Group Policy (ADMX), Intune, a Mac configuration profile or policy.json. The engine enforces locked settings.
Encryption
TLS 1.2 or later through the operating system’s own TLS: SChannel on Windows and Apple’s Security framework on macOS, both FIPS 140 validated. Client certificates and smart cards from the Windows certificate store or macOS Keychain. TLS can be negotiated on the host’s telnet port, and runs end to end through a proxy.
Flight recorder
Capture the data stream with screen contents redacted by default, then replay it to pinpoint any display issue.
Backup hosts
If the main host stops answering, sessions move to a backup address by themselves and say so in the status line.
Accessibility
Works from the keyboard, with screen readers through the system’s accessibility interface, with large text and high-contrast screen colors. Checked against WCAG 2.1 AA on every change. Accessibility and the VPAT 2.5
Macros
Record a routine or write one. Macros read the screen, decide with if, repeat steps, ask questions and save rows to a CSV file. Extra!, Reflection, HostExplorer and PowerTerm macros run as they are. How they work
Automation API
Scripts and programs on the same PC drive open sessions with EHLLAPI-style keys, and EHLLAPI, COM and .NET programs written for other emulators keep working. Password fields always read as blanks, and IT can turn it off. How it works
Sign-on without a password
Kerberos signs people on to IBM i with their computer sign-in. Express Logon logs them on to z/OS with a certificate. In a browser, the gateway uses RACF PassTickets. How it works

Questions
Can our existing macros run unchanged?
WND Terminal supports several legacy macro languages and reports unsupported lines. Use the readiness report and test the actual macros your workflows use.
Do we need to replace the host application?
No. WND Terminal uses the existing host protocols and screens. Validate the connection, workflow and any platform-specific requirements.
Is a code hint the same as AI Explain?
No. Offline hints use the built-in reference. Explain this screen and Ask WND use a model chosen by IT.
How should we prove compatibility?
Use the readiness report first, then a team trial or proof of value on your own hosts with the real keys, macros, printing and connected programs.
Prove it with your sessions and macros.
Import your real configuration, keep familiar keys and run the workflows your users depend on. Start the team trial or plan a free proof of value before renewal.
