limiting number of instances in Windows terminal server

[imadam]

Hello,
I can read a little of German, but to write, not possible. So here is my question in English:
I have Delphi app which need to execute in Windows Terminal Server (nowdays RDS). We would like to be able to control how many instances user can run in their session. So for example:
- user 1 can run two instances of app 1
- user 2 can run 1 instance of app 1

We are able to fix this on Windows to have only one instance of application running but on TS is a bit problem for us. Anybody had similar problem?

Thank you.

Do you use a mutex?

If yes, a global or a session mutex?

This is new app. Starting from scratch. So Delphi best practice should be applied here :-).

We are able to fix this on Windows to have only one instance of application running

so please show us it and we can tell yo how to change it for running on TS

I read my post again. It is bit confusing :-(. So we started with prototype. Playing around. We were able limit this to one instance of the app on Windows Desktop. However, we would like to be able to set number of instances (like 3 for user 1, 1 for user 2) in Terminal server. Also, if is there some best practice for Delphi developing this kind of apps, it would be great if somebody can share it. Let me know what to share ...
