Concurrent Connections

[Julian Devlin]

I understand Windows XP Pro (like 2000 pro) is limited to 10 concurrent
connections. Can someone please define exactly what a concurrent connection
is?

If I have XP Pro sharing three folders and two printers; then I map drives
from another XP (or 2K) machine to all three shares and both printers (and
actively browse and print) is that counted as 5 concurrent connections?

Hello,

Concurrent connection means 10 user login to the Windows
in the same time not map drive.

More details: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/

If you want to add extra license, go to
ControlPanel/License.

Cheers

Thank you Rick, much obliged.

That's the exact article I was looking for.

| But basically, it is a limit on the number of computers that can connect
to
| yours, not a limit on the number of shares or mapped drives a connected pc
| can have.
