Each Printer for Remote Desktop Server installation acquires separate license. Printer for Remote Desktop Server requests the license on system startup. The license is released on system shutdown or product uninstallation.

Each user session acquires separate sublicense. The sublicense is acquired at the moment of first device being redirected to remote desktop session. The sublicense is released on user logout and becomes available for other users immediately.
