New session/Virtual desktop for new user

[ldm_gk]

Hi All,

I have three installations of NoMachine – one on the Linux Machine (to be a Remote Machine) and two another on the Windows 10 machines (to be Local Machines).

Two users on the Windows machines should be able to get connected to the Remote Machine simultaneously.

How could this done? From my understanding, different Sessions or Virtual Desktops should be created for each user when they are get connected to the Remote NoMachine.

So, how the Remote/Local NoMachine Servers/Clients should be configured for the different sessions for different users?

Thank you!

If you are using the free version, one connection is allowed to the remote computer.

If you want two different users to connect to the remote desktop simultaneously, you should install Enterprise Desktop. Both users, regardless of the OS, will see the same physical desktop.

Virtual desktops is a feature of the Terminal Server for Linux range. See here for more details:

So, if I want two different users to get connected to the remote desktop simultaneously but with two different Virtual Desktops, do I still need anEnterprise Edition of the NoMachine?

Provided you want to run virtual desktops on Linux, then you will need one of the products from the Terminal Server for Linux range. I suggest you try Workstation which offers 4 virtual desktops. This will allow two different users to each have their own individual desktop running on the host at the same time.
