Remote Desktop Client – FAQ2026-07-17T14:37:38-08:00
Why when I try to log in onto a Windows 2003 server as a regular user I get the following error message “The system could not log on, because to log on to this remote console session you must have administrative permissions on this computer”?2015-01-15T12:46:35-08:00

This happens if the “Connect to console” check box in the server settings in Xtralogic RDC is ticked off (on Windows 2003 it is the same as /console option with mstsc) and an administrator user is already logged in on the server console. Before a regular user will be able to log in on the console, the administrator user needs to log off from the console.

Why when I try to log in onto a Windows 2008 server as a regular user I get the following error message “The requested session access is denied.”?2015-01-15T12:45:48-08:00

This happens if the “Connect to console” check box in the server settings in Xtralogic RDC is ticked off. It is the same as /admin option with mstsc and can be used only by admins on Windows 2008.

How to reset the master password if it was lost?2015-01-15T12:49:57-08:00

Does the app work over a VPN connection?2015-01-15T12:55:52-08:00

Yes, the app works over VPN connections.
Some VPNs, though, do not allow the Google Play app communicate with Google servers to verify the app license. Workaround in this case is to try to connect when you are not on VPN, the connection will fail, but the license will be verified and cached for about a week and you will be able to connect over VPN.
Also, the PPTP VPN on Android sometimes, in certain configurations, is not working reliably. See Android Issue 4706.
You can check your VPN connection by using Internet browser on the phone while connected over VPN.

Why am I getting the “The application is not licensed for use on this device” message?2015-01-15T12:34:43-08:00

One reason might be incorrect date and time setting on the Android device. The license verification mechanism depends on the correct time being set on a device.

Another reason might be that some VPNs do not allow the Market app communicate with Google servers.
Workaround in this case is to try to connect when you are not on VPN, the connection will fail, but the license will be verified and cached for about a week and you will be able to connect over VPN. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The application is relying on the Google Android Market License Verification service to make sure it is licensed for use on the device. The licensing status is obtained through the Android Market application and cached for the next 24 hours. There has to be an Internet connection (over WiFi or cellular data network) when the application runs for the first time, so that the licensing status can be initially verified. After the licensing status is initially verified, the application can be used for one week without Internet connection. After one week the Internet connection will be required to verify the licensing status.
