Вот некоторые из них: | + | It is possible to use the same account to log in at several workspaces at the same time, but with this use, where the logged in with the same users, negative effects may occur. Here is some of them: |

However you may simulate a connected monitor by means of a dummy panel, or if the monitor has several interfaces (for example, VGA+DVI), you may connect one monitor several times, in doing so you may switch between workplaces just by selecting a required signal on the monitor. | + | To run workplaces you have to link a monitor.

| - | In order to assign several monitors to one working station, you have to use a separate graphic card for it, as a working station with several monitors cannot share its graphic cards with another working station. However, NVIDIA Surround and AMD Eyefinity technologies give us a possibility to use extra monitors for a working station on the shared video card, and the working station can use only the monitors with the shared video card. | + | ===== How can to assign several monitors to one workplace? ===== |

| - | In the ASTER control panel in the **Video** tab the monitors should be assigned to the working stations in the usual manner and the working station number should be erased for the mirror-driver. After applying these settings you must find parameter in the Registry editor. There could be several such parameters, but one of them will have the value **0xffffffff** (4294967295).

| - | **TeamViewer** works properly in all working stations. You should by no means install the HOST version. It might also be started without installing. The drawback is the impossibility of connecting to several working stations simultaneously. If you run it in several working stations you will be able to connect only to the last launched client TeamViewer. | + | |

| - | **UltraVNC** and similar software allows connecting to working stations independently. However, a further setting of the software might be required in order to be able to use different ports / connection screens, as well as ASTER setting for the application of different IP-аddresses. | + | |
| - | **AnyDesk** if you install it on the PC, it will run as a server and will show same AnyDesk address in all work places. To get different address for each workplace you should not install AnydeDesk instead you have to launch the AnyDesk executable on each workplace manually and set password (for unattended access).

[[https://parsecgaming.com/downloads/|Download and install Parsec]] and login to your account and rename the host name to something easy to distinguish (as all workplaces will show same name otherwise).
