    Hi,
    soon I'll have to install a Windows Server copy on a my friend's PC, that needs more than 2 simultaneous RDP sessions.
    Googling I found that for doing this, we must pay for RDS CALs.
    I also found a GPO
    Code:
    Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Remote Desktop Services → Remote Desktop Session Host → Connections.
    
    Limit Number of Connections = 999999
    
    Restrict Remote Desktop Services users to a single Remote Desktop Services session = DISABLED

    but it have a grace period of 120 days.
    There is a sort of patch that works like a KMS auto-renewal tool for always have 120 days? And if possible that doesn't require a manual dlls editing?
    Otherwise there is a specific Windows Server version that allows this by default?

    IIRC, ServerRdsh is basically Enterprise with some server related features, hence it's actually better than Pro.

    It's basically a server branded as client, which means that some server annoyances are applicable (say client av or partitioning sw refuse to install)
