Limit Hosts to X number of open Sessions

From CW#7560570:


Partner would like to limit ScreenConnect hosts to only be able to open a configurable number of sessions at a time, preferably with a way to have different users with different numbers of sessions that can be open (licenses used).

Duplicates 4
control amount of unattended licenses that a user can use

Currently if a user is created it can use the entire amount of licenses for unattended access that we have. So if we have 5 concurrent licenses on a self hosted and 3 different users. One user could open 5 unattended session with there login and no other users can then open a unattended session unless you kill one of those open unattended. When you have 500+ client machines finding the open ones can be difficult... Would be nice if we could set a control on a user to limit them to one session or multiple, but we choose the count.

Ability to limit the number of sessions a user can consume

I would like to define how many sessions a given user can consume, thereby reserving sessions for other users. I want to be able to define different session limits for different users. REALLY need this.

Limit number of active connections to specific techs

Would like to have the ability to limit tech A to 1 active connections at a time and tech B to unlimited number of active connections

Limit users to X number of open Sessions

It would be very helpful to be able to limit ScreenConnect/Connectwise users to only be able to open a configurable number of sessions at a time, preferably with a way to have different users with different numbers of sessions that can be open (licenses used).

I too would find this very useful. Have a couple of users I want to restrict to only 1 session at a time

I just got asked this very question today and agree that it would be extremely useful, given the licensing model.

This has been requested since 2010 and really does need to be addressed. It's a frequent problem I hear in the office. "Has anyone got a license?" It can't be difficult to add a "maximum session count" into the settings.

Hi, Can someone from ConnectWise acknowledge that they are looking at this forum and provide an update? This is a vital, but I believe simple to implement, request that will save a lot of heartache daily. Thanks

Hey Mike,

I can confirm that this request is open, but it is not one we are actively working on this quarter. I'll bump it up and have the team revisit.

Hi, thanks for coming back. This is something that is preventing us ordering more licenses and looking at alternatives. As this request is years old I would have liked to think it would be implemented fairly swiftly as it is a very simple solution to provide  Thanks again

Please accelerate this feature request. This should have already been completed by now based on the product's licensing model. We currently have five licenses for our engineers to use. We would like to add a dozen more licenses to allow our clients to use it for secure remote access to their own machines. But we cannot without the ability to limit their sessions.
