It sounds like your server is currently running in administration mode
(which only allows 2 simultaneous connections). You'll want to switch to
application mode, and then add licenses. A great resources for TS licensing
can be found here:

Will switching to application mode allow for the same "Remote Desktop"
settings.

We're pushing our inventory work out to the restaurants (from the main
office) of the company I work for. Rather than setting up a VPN and having
all network traffic travel through (which is unneeded) i'm having them rdp
into a server at the central office to run the inventory software (which uses
SQL) from there.

Will they still be able to login to a "Remote Desktop" and use the inventory
software as if they were sitting in the office like they can now?

Actually, it depends on whether your application is multi-user aware.
A better place to answer this question is the terminal services
newsgroups where you can ask about the compatibility with your
specific application.

i've been using it multi-user in administration mode, so it should work
fine in application

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

Many apps work well in Administration mode since Administration mode
acts like you are a single session. Application mode breaks quite a
few applications that are not multi-user aware (Microsoft Office, for
instance)...

it's really only to use 1 piece of software. Microsoft Great Plains
Dynamics, which is definately multi-user aware

another question...forgot to add it

do i have to add or setup a license server to have 3-5 connections at once
going if they are all using 2k pro or xp pro? I've read that pro version
include a CAL

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

Only if your TS is Windows 2000... There are no comped licenses in
