7. Open the https://activate.microsoft.com, at this time is the English interface, the reader can follow the method to change the Chinese language interface;

8. Tick "Enable license Server" (default) and click "Next";

9. Enter the product ID that you just noted, other press fill , and then click "Next";

11. At this point, the license server ID appears, write it down, and click "Yes";

12. Select "Enterprise Agreement" in the license program and click "Next";

13. In the Product type select "Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server" Per user "Client Access License", the number can be filled (but also do not fill too large), the enterprise agreement can be filled 6565792, 4954438, 6879321, 5296992 any of these four, and then click Next;

20. Select "Per User licensing mode" and click "Next";

21. Finally click "Finish";

22. Open "Terminal Server Configuration", as shown in the settings;

23. After the configuration, it is best to restart, after restarting you will find that you can now use the same user to connect to the server more than once!

If you think this is the end of the configuration, then you are wrong, because we have cracked the number of connections, but each connected user if not through the normal way out (logout), it would be a waste of server resources, so we need a little configuration. The configuration method is as follows:

1. Open "Terminal Server Configuration";

2. Right-click on "Rdp-tcp" on the right, then "properties";

3. In the Sessions tab, tick override user settings, select an appropriate time for end disconnected session and idle session limit, and then click OK. "
