Viewing and managing remote access sessions

Follow

If your RealVNC Connect subscription is licensed per concurrent session, then each time you connect from RealVNC Viewer to RealVNC Server, those active sessions are allocated against your subscription's Concurrent Session Limit. You can make connections from RealVNC Viewer(s) to RealVNC Server(s) across your Team up to your subscription's Concurrent Session Limit.
