hi davem,

windows server 2012/2012 r2 essentials only supports maximum of 2 active sessions administrative purposes only.  windows server 2016 essentials has same limitation--i tested it when released.

under per user licensing, need per user windows server cal per user rds cal each unique human connecting.  it not matter how many log on @ 1 time licensing perspective.  example, have 10 unique persons connecting, however, never more 1 person @ time.  in example, need total 10 windows server per user cals , 10 rds per user cals.

please consult relevant agreement document, product terms document, etc., appropriate precise licensing details.
