How to increase/decrease the number of sessions in NX Enterprise and Advanced Server 3.5.0

There is a key in the server configuration specifying the maximum number of allowed sessions. In NX Enterprise Server and NX Advanced Server the default is 20. Customers who want to run more sessions should raise the number to whatever they like.

SessionLimit = "20"

There is also the following key:

#
# Set the maximum number of concurrent NX sessions that can be run by
# a single user. By default a user can run as many sessions as they
# are allowed on the server. By setting this value to 1, the system
# administrator can force the user to terminate any suspended session
# before starting a new one.
#
SessionUserLimit = "20"

The maximum per user/per total sessions can depend on the power of your server, memory and disk space, but if you can guarantee these then you can impose your own limits as you wish.

Please note that, starting from NX 3.0.0, configuration keys are provided in the camel case format. If you are still using a previous version of the software, the correspondent keys are named: SESSION_LIMIT and SESSION_USER_LIMIT.

Users who are having difficulty in increasing the session limit in their evaluation software should check that they have not installed NX Enterprise Desktop or NX Free Edition. The typical error is:

'Reached the maximum number of concurrent sessions on this server'

These two products allow two concurrent sessions.
