Description

We have a server with Microsoft Remote Desktop Service (RDS). We have a Statistica Desktop install on that server. 
Can we have multiple users / different users connect to the server using the application simultaneously?

Issue/Introduction

Does Statistica Desktop install allow multiple users simultaneous usage through Remote Desktop Connection?

Environment

Windows

Resolution

The answer is Yes, technically.

When Statistica was purchased by TIBCO, stand-alone desktop installs now allow for terminal services, beginning with Statistica 13.3.0:

You can install a Statistica Desktop license on a server (e.g. with Microsoft Remote Desktop service) and allow multiple users remote desktop connection to the server and use Statistica application at the same time: https://community.tibco.com/wiki/statistica-hosted-desktop

However, you should only allow named users to access Statistica to ensure license enforcement. 

Note: This article explains the possibility of using the installer for more than one user. This isn't to recommend users or customers to do so that may void their license agreement with TIBCO. If such a question arises, we need to let the customers know the number of users /machines they are entitled for.
