21 concurrent Remote Desktop sessions!

[Guest Luca Villa]

I just discovered a program that allows for 21 concurrent Remote

Desktop sessions and I find it great! but they sell it for $100/user

that is a big lot... :(

Do you know other programs that do the same, possibly for less?

I forgot to write that they are 21 concurrent Remote Desktop sessions

to a single Windows XP PC!

And it goes against the EULA.

Even if you pay them all?

 

Look here: http://www.thinsoftinc.com/product_thin_client_winconnect_server_xp.aspx.

It seems a big company. I can't believe that there isn't a legal

solution to use their program for what it's sold...

Eh, go ahead read the EULA's, it's spelled out in there.

Hi there,

 

if its legal or not?! Good question.

Ive talked with the ms business customer service last year here in germany

and get the answer, that it is legal to use something like xpunlimited or

thinsoft...

The only, logical, thing is, that you have to obtain RDL (remote desktop

license).

XP Unlimited seems interesting! unlimited (not sure) concurrent RD

sessions and reasonable price.

I'm also trying to find the price of Citrix Presentation Server 4.5

that seems to offer unlimited concurrent RD sessions in Windows Server

and it's the technology RD is based on...

Up until now, you have been talking about connecting to an XP system.

Now, you're talking about connecting to a server...

 

You are also talking *EXPENSIVE*... Citrix is a server based software

that requires Terminal Server running in Application mode. That means

you need the server OS (Windows 2003 minimum for 4.5), user licenses for

every device (or user) connecting as well as TS licenses for every

device/user. Add on the cost of Citrix server and connection licenses

(concurrent) and the annual fee for SA and you're talking **BIG** bucks...

You're right. I abandoned the Citrix solution...
