server 2003 running terminal services with all users runni..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

I have a network set up running terminal services on a windows server 2003 with remote users running xp pro. I have been told I have licenses for 5 users but after 2 are connected I get a message stating that we have already used the allowed # of connections. So I contacted Microsoft and was told I need another server in the network. I have one windows based program that 4 users must be able to get onto at one time all day long. I have other people telling me that I don't need another server and should be able to run this operation off what I have. Help.

You are using Terminal Services in Remote Desktop mode, not Terminal
Services mode...

Go to Add-Remove Programs, Add-Remove Windows Components, and enable
Terminal Services and Terminal Services license. You would then
install the license following the help file/documentation included
with the license keys...

Not an SBS expert (maybe Bill can post here), but I think you are
right that SBS cannot run Terminal Services...

No, you can't change Remote Desktop to support 4 or 5.. Note that you
could do three... (2 terminal services sessions + 1 console session
accessible via the mstsc /v:servername /console command).

Two ways -

First and easiest - run "mstsc /v:computername /console" from a
command prompt or the Start->Run menu.

Second way - through the Remote Desktop MMC plugin - but I have no
experience with this one...
