No, we've purchased the required CALs. We questioned not having to buy CALS since it didn't seem right. Just looking for an alternate solution to Microsoft's Remote Desktop App since there seems to be an issue with turning the session screen black on some machines, which requires the client to exit the session and log back in.

So, to simplify, you want to run multiple copies of Windows but you don't want to pay Microsoft for the license to do that?
I'm not sure you can do that.
The TSplus software is based in Czechoslovakia and written by programmers in Russia and Paris. It's possible this is a difference in legal jurisdictions, or something lost in translation, or flat-out piracy, but I don't think this will fly in the U.S.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. We're actually looking for
the
RDP solution for our clients to run our application in a Terminal Services Session on the cloud server. We use Simple Help www.simple-help.com and LogMeIn to connect to them for remote support. The Users properties on the server are configured to automatically start our VFP application session upon login. So from what I can see, TSplus could be a solution. Reading TSplus's Benefits overview they claim that there is No requirement for Terminal Service CALs. No need for Terminal Service (Remote Desktop Services) license manager. However one of the posts indicates that M$
still
requires CALs.

For remote control I use Splashtop Business (splashtop.com) and for one
off
support they have an add on Splashtop SOS which allows you to remote
connect
to a user for a one off session with minimal setup by the remote end and
you
can connect via iPad's, Androids and also iPhones... yes I do the iphone connect back to my office on an iPhone 6s with my two screens with no problem at all. Just as good as Teamviewer but cheaper.
On the SDP end I use Microsoft's own software on PC and Microsoft's equivalent on iPad via a VPN back to the office which is very stable
indeed.
Alan's point about remote access RDP and remote control (above) are very valid as they are completely different beasts.

Most of our clients use the Remote Desktop App RDP in Windows, but clients have experienced the session screen turning black after some time. We
found
a Columbus Remote Desktop that seems to work fine, but it doesn't map
local
drives. Any Remote Desktop apps ProFoxers can recommend?
