Can't establish multiple sessions on different devices

Sometimes when using multiple computers with the same Splashtop credentials, you will encounter the following error message:


You might encounter this message if you are on  the following teams:

  • Remote Access: Solo, Pro, and Performance
  • Business Access: Solo, Pro, and Performance
  • Splashtop On-Demand Support trial; Legacy ; Basic (per user license); Teams 
This error can occur when 2 or more users are trying to login using the same account email, or a remote session from another computer was left connected by accident, or if a connection is in a stuck state.
 
Check for Active Sessions
  1. You can check for active sessions in the Splashtop Business app. When a remote computer has an active session, a green circle appears around its computer icon. In the screenshot below, the Windows icon has a green circle around it.

  2. You can also view active sessions under Logs → Active Sessions. From here, you can see who is connected, which computer they're connected to, and when the session started.

Disconnect Remote Sessions
  1. If an error message appears when you try to connect, you can disconnect the existing session from it. Click Disconnect to end the remote session.

  2. You can also disconnect a remote session from the Splashtop Business app. Click the computer once to select it, then click the Gear icon (or ⋯) → Info, and click Disconnect near the bottom of the page.

  3. You can also disconnect remote sessions from the Splashtop web console. Log in to my.splashtop.com, go to Logs → Active Sessions, and click the Disconnect icon to the right of the active session.

Note: Remote disconnections may take 1 to 2 minutes to complete. If a remote disconnection does not work, you can restart the remote computer to end the session.

This restriction does not apply if your team uses one of the following:

  • Splashtop Remote Support
  • Splashtop Enterprise
  • Splashtop On-Demand Support (Basic, Plus 10/300, Unlimited, or Legacy)

To allow users to start remote sessions from multiple devices at the same time:

  1. Sign in to the web console at my.splashtop.com/my.splashtop.eu with the team owner account.
  2. In the left menu, go to Settings
  3. Turn on Allow users to establish remote sessions from multiple devices.

Note: Each device uses one concurrent license. For example, to connect from 3 devices with the same email at the same time, you need 3 licenses.
