Windows Server 2008 Remote Desktop License Crack
I recently installed Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (64 bit) on a nice machine that's more than capable of handling 30 or so remote desktop connections at once, and this is precisely what I want to do.
Unfortunately, I can only make 2 at a time--because that's what the limit is defined as..
I haven't seen any conventional ways of redefining this limit..
How do I redefine this limit? Any answers appreciated, answers that do not include 'setting up a license server' are especially appreciated(!!!)
Thank you!

You haven't seen any 'conventional ways of redefining this limit'? really? how about buying Terminal Services CALs? I don't know what's more conventional than paying for the functionality you want.
Basically that's it; just buy the licences, install, ?, Profit - the end.
Basically, you're asking for the same thing as this question.
The product's license agreement explains how to increase then number of remote connections allowed. You setup a license server, install the appropriate CALs, and you'll be allowed an increased number of concurrent connections.
If you don't like those terms I'd recommend using another operating system that offers you license terms that you like better.
Nobody here is going to tell you how to violate the product's license agreement. We don't do that here, being professional systems administrators.
In addition to what Evan and Chopper have stated, you'll need to install the Remote Desktop Services role on the server. (Remote Desktop Services is the new name for Terminal Services).
Recently we have have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 on one of our development boxes at work. We have 10 Client Access Licence's for Microsoft Windows Terminal Server 2008. I'm under the impression that these licences will entitle us to have 10 concurrent connections to Remote Desktop. At the moment we are only allowed two.
Can we have a RD connection per CAL? If so - how do we configure this?
Thanks!

you have to install the role 'Remote Desktop Session Host' on your server to enable more than two simultaneous connections to a server. Download etka manual instalacion software.
