We have a Windows 2008 Server that several users remotely access using Remote Desktop Connection on their PCs. &nbsp;Over time, we have now more than 2 users trying to simultaneously connect to the server. &nbsp;What would be the simplest option to get up to 5-10 concurrent remote connections? &nbsp;Can I acquire Remote Desktop Services Client licenses to accomplish this or do I need to go Terminal Server? &nbsp;If Terminal Server, would i need to reinstall the application being used on the server by the users? &nbsp;If I needed to reinstall the application being hosted on the Server, that could be a problem. &nbsp;Any suggestions? &nbsp;Thanks!
