Quickbooks and 2012/2016 terminal server

Both need to support the same concurrent 3 remote users.  <-- Each user must have both versions of QuickBooks on their local machine and each version can point to one file. So two versions on the client workstation can point to two files.

QuickBooks needs to be licensed for as many users as you have.

Can I create ONE Win 2016 (or 2012) Remote Desktop Server to service ALL COMPANY files (from a QB Server Manager perspective) <-- Yes.

AND multiple remote and concurrent RDS client sessions all on the same Terminal (RDS) server ?

If the server first mentioned is a terminal server, Yes.  In this case the terminal server would have the QuickBooks Client and you need to provide licensing and connection for all the users using it.  But, yes, you can do it.

If the whole system is local (users in the same office as the server), it might be easier to keep the QB Clients on the local workstation.

Just to be clear, I want one device (RDS server) to be BOTH the database server AND the terminal server for the entire  QB environment.  There will be no QB database server or clients installed anywhere other than this server.

So, this server needs to:

- be able to provide database services to the QB clients that are also loaded on this same server.
- be able to have two different clients loaded to talk to the two different company files.
- each terminal server session need to be able to start up EITHER US or CDN QB client
- one terminal server session may be active on QB US file/client while another simultaneous terminal server session may be working on QB CDN file/client.

Does this make things clearer ?

I am not a terminal server expert. So long as you can install the QB clients so that all users can use both ( like any other application) it should work.

I have done it with one version but two should work)

Thanks John

Just out of curiosity, some follow up:

I am assuming the versions I am going to have to make work are the CDN ENT 2016 and US ENT 2017.  I assume I need to install the 2017 Database MGR to support both the 2016 and 2017 company files ? Does this imply I should load the full 2017 package (client and DB mgr) and THEN the 2016 client only ?

Thank you and good luck setting things up and getting them working.
