# Logging Out of Hosted Servers

{{variable.GTX Bold}} require users to **fully log out of remote desktop sessions** when using a hosted system.

If you are using a GTX system on a hosted server, it is important that you **log out of the server using the desktop icon after every session**.

Logging off ensures that:

* The **End of Day** and **End of Month** processes can be run,
* Necessary **software updates** can be installed,
* Your **unsaved work** is not lost,
* All **files and programs are closed**, rather than being left open,
* Your session is r**efreshed and ready **for the next day of trading.

Simply clicking on **the X button** at the top of a remote server window disconnects from the server but **does not log out of the current session**.

This means **any open applications are left running**, which can cause issues for other users who are still logged on, as well as future sessions.

To log out of a server session, **double click on the Log Off icon on your remote server desktop**.
