TS, Citrix....

[Tilen]

Hi

Since I don't have an option to test it:

If you install a delphi program on Terminal Server or Citrix server, can it be run/used by multiple users at once as with other applications on same server?

If it is, can it be handled from delphi? For personal edition to not allow this, and for multiuser edition to allow it?

Thanx in advance

AFAIK
Win32 Executables created with the personal edition will run anywhere that W32 executables created with any other edition will.
The issue is only one of licencing. I.E. you should not be selling programs created with a personel edition.

No, no.

By personal edition is meant my software!

If I create an application, with Delphi, and Customer purchase my application as personal edition, than it should only be used as a one workstation installation.

I would like to know if it's possible to install my software on TS or Citrix and be used as multiuser application as any other application running on TS or Citix.

Thanx

We have Citrix here and so I can guarantee that by default, Delphi programs will work correctly ie multiple copies on the server.

I can't help you though with licensing issues to force your program to only run for one user.

Every instance of the application is visible as a global process. Try reading that to prevent multiple instances.

I know as an administrator I can see every process on the citrix server for all users, but general users can only see their own processes (in Task Manager). Are you sure non-administrative users can see processes for other users?

It looks like I need to set up TS or Citrix test environments to play around with it, to find out if it's possible to make something like this.

Before I go and set something up... is it possible to set TS or Citrix on one machine with Virtual PC/Workstation/Machine (like VMware)?

I've run a Citrix client (Citrix Server is on NT4) through both Win2000 and WinXP under Microsoft VirtualPC (host operating systems again both Win2000 and WinXP)


Hope this helps.

Thanx. I'll set it up and see if I can make it work.
