Yes, the same solution still applies. You should be able to the console as a third connection (mstsc /admin)

Be aware, that the free option of 2 concurrent connections is (by EULA) restricted to administrative access and was never meant for users.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the comments :)<br />
Dirk, which Rule do you mean? Or was that Role (as in Windows features / server roles etc)?<br />
Shaun, the mstsc /admin was taken out ages ago (Server 2008 was the last i think). I need this for server 2016. (unless i'm missing something?)<br />
Hi Andrew, what is the &quot;hack&quot; ? this sounds promising!

Hi Andrew, what is the "hack" ? this sounds promising!

<div>
either use TSplus, if you don't know about the hack, then I'm afraid I will have to let you google it...<br />
<br />
Breaches of the EULA cannot be discussed on EE, and this falls into that category.<br />
<br />
I've never understood, how TSplus gets around the concurrency without using RDS/TS, but it does, and they still continue to sell and support it.<br />
<br />
So consider it a poor mans Citrix/TS/RDS

Hey bud,<br />

I have a Windows server 2016 Virtual Machine that needs to be accessed by RDP by more than 2 concurrent users. <br />
Last time I had this issue was many years ago on server 2003 i think and i just applied a TS license for more users.<br />
I've had a read up on the new method and become pretty confused by it all.<br />
Can somebody explain the steps of how to get say 2 more users being able to login in (4 total at once)<br />
<br />
Thanks very much.

increase concurrent connections to a server 2016 machine

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Windows 10

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.

Azure

Windows Server 2016 is the successor to Windows Server 2012 R2. Built upon the same core code as Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 brings enhancements in security, servicing, and connectivity. A particular focus on this release was hybrid-cloud scenarios, and has close ties to Azure and other Microsoft cloud initiatives. This does not detract from the many improvements that are available for on-premises-only deployments

Windows Server 2016 comes in Datacenter, Standard, and Essentials editions, and for servicing, has adopted windows 10's cumulative model. The new nano-server install is designed to be remotely managed and is designed to be kept current through continuous feature updates. The full GUI install operates similarly to windows 10's "Long Term Servicing Branch" (LTSB) model with cumulative security updates.

Windows Server 2016 has also shifted from a per-processor-and-CAL licensing model to a per-core-and CAL licensing model. This brings Windows Server's licensing more in line with Microsoft's other products and makes hybrid-cloud license planning easier as well.
