Explanation

Before purchasing any software that must work across two different platforms (a desktop PC and a mobile phone), the most critical check is whether the software is compatible with both operating systems. If the app does not support the user's desktop OS version or their phone's OS, it will not function at all regardless of any other feature. Memory type is generally not a compatibility barrier for application software. Software licensing for multiple installations is irrelevant since the user only needs one desktop installation. Wireless frequency matters for connectivity hardware, but application-level remote access software works over existing network connections and does not depend on choosing a specific wireless frequency.
