Microsoft Terminal Server

You can use this product with Microsoft Terminal Server but note that a separate end-user license is required for each user who accesses it, even if the product is running on a single machine. See your End User License Agreement.

Microsoft Terminal Server is an environment for running multiple instances of a single-user product. It is not a platform where a single-user product can be made to perform as a multi-user product.

To install onto a terminal server:

When you install the product on Microsoft Terminal Server or similar terminal software, do not execute more than one installation at the same time.

When you install Microsoft Terminal server, you must assign a unique port address to each user. Then the very first time that each user logs into Visual COBOL and starts the terminal server, they should:

  1. Select Options > Project > Port address for Web Server.
  2. Type in the assigned port address.

This is necessary because the default port address for the Web server is 80. Once this has been allocated to the first user, when the next user attempts to start the Web server, the software recognizes that this port is in use and rejects the attempt. Consequently each user requires an individual port address.
