Hello,

I need at maximum just 2 Concurrent Sessions in Windows XP PRO SP2 using
Remote Desktop and i find this page:

Terminal Server Patch
http://www.kood.org/terminal-server-patch/

It seems to work.
I would like to know if this is legal or not ?
Is it a violation of the EULA ?

Can you help me?

Thanks.

No, it's not legal, it violates the EULA.

Ok, thanks.
What about this commercial solution:
XPUnlimited Classic for Windows XP Professional SP2 ?
http://www.xpunlimited.com/
(XP Unlimited - 5u - Classic v1.9 license)

Is this legal ?

Best Regards.

No, none of these 3rd party products which enable multiple sessions
on XP are legal. Just read the EULA. Or rather: then can be used
legally only if you also buy a full XP desktop license for every
device that connects to an XP host running xpunlimited. Which
doesn't make much sense.

I need at maximum just 2 Concurrent Sessions in Windows XP PRO SP2 using
Remote Desktop, so i can use the Terminal Server Patch buying an extra full
XP desktop license to be legal ?
Or must be a 3rd party product (XP Unlimited) plus an extra full XP desktop
license to be legal ?

What does "a full XP desktop license" means ?
It means I need to buy another Windows XP license, as if i had two PC, right
?

Thank you.

Yes, "a full XP desktop license" means that you need to buy a
second XP license, as if you had another PC.

I recommended that you contact your local Microsoft representative
to get an authorative answer about what's legal and what is not.
