Timeslips Premium in a Single Application Terminal Server

Posted By

I have a client that owns a current version of Timeslips Premium. Since Timeslips Anywhere isn't ready to replace Premium, they are considering running Timeslips on a Terminal Server, and they want to use the Single-application feature of Terminal Server. That is to say, when a user logs into the Terminal Server, they don't see a desktop with various applications, they only get a log in for the Timeslips application.

Is anyone familiar with this type of setup in general, and if so, have you ever done it with Timeslips?

I checked the Timeslips EULA on the Sage Web site which says that Timeslips can be run on a Terminal Server environment, although it's an old document that still refers to Paradox.

    Neil,

    I've normally see this called "Publish an App in Terminal Server."  I've done this for Timeslips many times. 

    Normally, you click on an RDP icon to connect and login to the terminal server.  Once logged in, you click on the Timeslips icon to start Timeslips.

    Publishing as an app does two thing.  First, it eliminates the steps the user performs to login (be careful of security).  Second, it can make it look like the app is on the user's own computer.  The terminal server itself becomes invisible to the end user.

    Timeslips itself is the exact same.  It works just fine in this environment.  Licensing and setup is the same as in any other terminal server environment.  It is just an easier way to present it to the user.

    If all you people do on the terminal server is Timeslips, it is a good approach.  If they are working remotely and also need Word, Excel, and files on a network drive, for example, they should login to the terminal server in the traditional manner.

    Thank you.
