Post From: RDS for multi-user access

What does RDS stand for?
RDS = Remote Desktop Services. it's the replacement/rename of the original "Windows Terminal Services". so there is one Windows Server, and each user remotes into a personal desktop running on this server. they all share the same applications on this box. that's why i was asking about Sierra Chart. if it installs into C:\Program Files or similar then the one install is shared amongst all the users on the machine. but if i can installed it into C:\Users\user1\SierraChart or similar (because each user has their own profile directory just like on a normal windows install) then this would be fine. some applications don't play well with multi-user use on a Terminal Server/RDS due to the way their licensing works, thus the reason for this post in the first place. Who will be paying for the accounts for the Sierra Chart users? Each individual user or one user?
the server will be run by a private investment group. this one entity would be responsible for all license purchases. apologies as I'm not a Sierra Chart user myself - i'm the IT person trying to put together the infrastructure. is Sierra Chart licensed on the local machine? or does each user have a license which is held by a login or a portal at your end? cheers, wizdude. |
