Print&Share Server installation on Windows Terminal Server (TS) / Windows Server Remote Desktop Services (RDS)
A server license of Print&Share is required to use Print&Share on a Windows Server with Terminal Services or Remote Desktop Services.
Every client or user who logs in to the server via TS or RDS has its own desktop on the server. This means that each client will have their own Print&Share running on their desktop on the server. Per user session a single Print&Share instance can be opened.
