I recently installed Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (64 bit) on a nice machine that's more than capable of handling 30 or so remote desktop connections at once, and this is precisely what I want to do. Unfortunately, I can only make 2 at a time--because that's what the limit is defined as. I haven't seen any conventional ways of redefining this limit.

Below is the step by step for how to crack remote desktop license Server 2008 R2. Download and save to your Desktop PsExec.exe 2. Click Windows Key then type CMD 3. Right click on Command Prompt click Run As Administrators. Feb 03, 2017  This video is about how to remove concurrent sessions on Windows Server 2008 R2. Kerala house plans dwg free download. This method is also applicable for Windows 7 Professional and Enterprise (tested).

How do I redefine this limit? Any answers appreciated, answers that do not include 'setting up a license server' are especially appreciated(!!!) Thank you! Basically, you're asking for the. The product's license agreement explains how to increase then number of remote connections allowed. You setup a license server, install the appropriate CALs, and you'll be allowed an increased number of concurrent connections.

If you don't like those terms I'd recommend using another operating system that offers you license terms that you like better. Nobody here is going to tell you how to violate the product's license agreement. We don't do that here, being professional systems administrators. I did not install the system, I have not read the license agreement.

If there isn't any way to do this for free, I need to be able to do it for not for free. Where/How can I buy 'Terminal Services CALs'? What is CAL short for? Is this an additional cost to the license that was already purchased (with the dvd) or do I already have the license and not know it?

Nothing additional has been purchased, if 'Terminal Services CALs' do not come with the dvd, I need to be able to get them. Again, help is seriously appreciated. – joseph s Jul 29 '10 at 19:58 •. CAL are Client Access Licenses and they don't come as standard.

Terminal Server can be run in either Application Server or Remote Administration mode. You are in the latter mode and that only allows two connections and is designed for that purpose (ie for administrators to remotely manage the server and not to allow users to run applications on the server). You don't need any extra TS CALS for that (but you are limited to two connections). You need to switch to Application Mode and for that you need to buy TS CALs for each user that will be using remote desktop to the server.

We have some Windows 2008r2 RDS CAL's that we purchased and downgraded to use with an old Windows 2003r2 terminal server, everything's been working great for years but now that support for server 2003 is ending we are looking at upgrading our terminal server to 2012r2. Our current Remote Desktop Licensing server is Windows 2008r2, if we upgrade the terminal server to 2012r2 then we will probably upgrade that server as well. The question is can we use the 'Microsoft® Windows Remote Desktop Services CAL 2008 R2 OPEN BUSINESS User CAL' (MS Part# 6VC-01164 ) on a Windows 2012r2 Remote Desktop Server or will we need to purchase new remote desktop server licenses? Appreciate the help! If you did not buy software assurance (SA) when you bought the licences, then no, you will need to buy new licenses. FWIW Windows 2012 CALS work on Windows 2012 R2 RDS. There are no '2012 R2' CALS You may want to look at going to 2008 R2 (from a user usability point of view (as 2012 == win8.1 user interface) A 2012 R2 RDS License server can dish out any version of RDS/TS CALs (that you have bought) Depending on your timeframe, you may want to wait until the release of 'Windows Server 10' an buy their CALs and downgrade (assuming you have the rights).
