RDPlus Prerequisites

1) Hardware

RDPlus can work on your PC and here is the minimal recommended hardware:

Number of users	Equipment for XP/2003	Windows 2008 to 2019 or 7 to 10 Pro
3 – 5	1 GB ONE CPU	I5 or above 4 GB One CPU 2 GHZ
10	1 GB One CPU 2 GHZ I5 or above	I5 or above 8 GB One CPU 2 GHZ
25	4 GB One CPU 2.5 GHZ I5 or above	16 GB One CPU I7 or Xeon
50 and above	16 GB Dual CPU	32 GB Dual CPU – SSD Disk dedicated to the system

Over 50 concurrent sessions, we recommend to use a farm of servers, using the Load Balancing feature, available on the Enterprise Edition.
Each server (physical or virtual ones) handling up to 50 concurrent users.

Comment: The type of hardware you need will mostly depend on what kind of resources the applications you wish to publish consume the most (CPU/memory/Disk). You might consider getting a server with SSD drives if you plan on using an application that accesses a database on your RDPlus server as it will greatly enhance the performances.

2) Operating system

Your hardware must use one of the operating systems below:

Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home.
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8/8.1
Windows 10 Pro
Windows 11 Pro
Windows Server 2003 or 2003 SBS
Windows Server 2008 or 2008 R2/SBS
Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2
Windows Server 2016
Windows Server 2019
Windows Server 2022

32 and 64 bit are supported.

If you install RDPlus on a Windows 2008 to 2019 make sure the RDS or Terminal Services roles as well as the RDS Terminal Services licensing role are not installed before installing RDPlus.
If these roles were present, remove them and reboot.
Windows 10 Home edition is not supported.
On Windows Server 2016, 15 sessions maximum are allowed for Remote Desktop access.
Windows Server 2019 Essentials Edition does not support RemoteApp.

3) Network parameters

The RDPlus Server must have a fixed IP address:

Remote access (from Wide Area Network – WAN)

A DSL connection is recommended as well as a public fixed address. Without a fixed IP address, you should install a dynamic DNS service like http://DynDNS.org
The TCP RDP port (by default 3389) must be opened both ways on your firewall.
