By default, a Windows VPS allows up to two users to log in simultaneously using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). This is a built-in limitation set by Microsoft for standard Windows Server configurations. However, if you need to allow more users to connect at the same time, you can purchase additional Client Access Licenses (CALs).
A Client Access License (CAL) is required to enable additional Remote Desktop users on a Windows VPS. Without a CAL, only the two default users can access the server concurrently. By purchasing CALs, businesses and teams can expand the number of users who can log in simultaneously, making the VPS more efficient for collaboration, remote work, and application hosting.
To extend the number of simultaneous Remote Desktop users, you can purchase CAL licenses at an additional cost of $9.50 per user per month. Once the CALs are added, multiple users can log in and work on the VPS at the same time, improving productivity and resource sharing.
Enhanced Collaboration – Multiple team members can work on the same VPS environment.
Efficient Resource Management – Reduces the need for separate VPS instances.
Improved Business Operations – Ideal for remote work, customer support, and shared applications.
Cost-Effective Scaling – Pay only for the additional users you need without upgrading the entire server.
If you require more than two remote users, consider purchasing additional CALs to ensure seamless access for your team. Contact support to upgrade your Windows VPS with extra licenses today!
