Turbo Server License
The standard Turbo Server license, Turbo Server Enterprise Edition, supports named or simultaneous end-user licensing and allows you to host unlimited applications. Administrators can activate or deactivate users from the administration site and upgrade capacity as needed.
See Managing Users and Authentication for user management and Domain Settings for applying new licenses.
Named User Licensing
Named user licenses limit the total number of active users. Each user has an activation state:
| Activation State | Occupies License | Can Launch Applications | Can Login |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Inactive | No | Yes (transitions to Active) | Yes |
| Disabled | No | No | No |
Initial activation depends on how the user is created:
- SSO users start as
active. - Azure AD synchronization and anonymous logins start as
inactive. - Internal users can be set to the desired activation state at creation.
Inactive users become active when they run an application or when an admin activates them. Users automatically reset to inactive if they are over 30 days old and have not launched an application in over 30 days. Administrators and system users are not automatically deactivated.
RDS License
Servers with the Application role must have RDS licensing configured; see the Microsoft documentation. RDS Per User CALs are not supported with the default Temporary Profile login mode because temporary profiles use local non-Active Directory users. Use RDS Per Device CALs when you use Temporary Profile login mode.
Application License
Application licenses can be enforced by the application itself (for example, a license server) or by Turbo administrative settings. Turbo allows you to limit concurrent and named users or devices per application. See Workspace Applications for configuration details.
