When multi-session mode is enabled for a published application, you can use multiple sessions of the same published application when you log on to the server from different client devices.
For example, if you open a published application in multi-session mode on client A, and then open the same published application on client B, the published application remains open on client A and a new session of the published application opens on client B. By comparison, when multi-session mode is disabled (single-session mode), the published application session on client A disconnects and reconnects on client B.
The multi-session mode feature has the following limitations.
- Multi-session mode does not work for applications that do not support multiple instances, such as Skype for Business.
- If the application session is disconnected while you are using a published application in multi-session mode, you are logged off automatically and any unsaved data is lost.
Prerequisites
A Horizon administrator must enable multi-session mode for the application pool. Users cannot modify the multi-session mode for a published application unless a Horizon administrator allows it. See Setting Up Published Desktops and Applications in Horizon. This feature requires Horizon 7 version 7.7 or later.
