Google remote desktop multiple screens

It would be breaking the licensing in windows 7. It's the same thing with using more than ten connections for files share/printers on client O/Ses. Yes it can be removed but it is against the license to do that. You will need a Terminal Server or the Correct version of Windows 7 or Windows 8 Pro to do it.

I figured as much, do you know of any replacement programs, per say.

The only replacement programs would be ones that would have the physical computer unlocked as well. [meaning anyone can see what's being done on it.]

VNC Software, Teamviewer, GoToMyPc, Logmein and many many others.

-This is partially true. In Teamviewer you have the ability to black out the screens on the other side, along with disabling remote input. So to someone sitting at the other computer it would just look like the monitors are turned off essentially... 

• TeamViewer 11.0[419]

If you happen to be a fan of Google or not, I would suggest using Chrome Remote Desktop. It supports multi-monitor and I've been using it since it was in it's "beta" version. I'm currently using it on my laptop, tablet, and phone to connect to work or home systems. I use it on my phone and tablet with no lag issues and just to note, two finger tap at the same time brings up the right click menu. I would check it out if you want to get ita try. It also has the option to let someone connect to your system or connect to theirs as well through a random generated code.

Sort of. Logmein will do that too, but if you use that optionthere'sno way for you to know for sure that the black out driver is actually running. One might assume that it is, do something somebody else wasn't supposed to see, and end up making an'ass'outof 'u' and 'me'.

Take a look at Remote Utilities. It's free for business use on up to 10 remote PCs. You'll be able to work with multiple monitors and run RDP sessions via the program as well.

Does the 'span' trick work in your situation? That's free and built-in.

If, instead of launching the Remote Desktop Connection client in the usual way, instead do a Start>Run and type "mstsc /span" [no quotes] in the Run box. That launches RDC in a special mode that fools it into thinking that two monitors are a single monitor with double the width. [MS Terminal Server Client /span across available monitors]

So if you have two monitors that are each 1440x900, and you use mstsc /span, then your Remote Desktop Connection window - if set to Fullscreen - will take up both of your monitors, thinking they area singledisplay that is 2880x900. There can be some fiddling with the proper sizing of windows, and some awkwardness with the bezels being the 'center' of the display, but it's been a workable way to use RDC and get the use of both screens.

Note: the displays have to be going left-to-right, and both have to be the same resolution.
