We have an application on a Xp.
We can't move this one.
But we are 3 to have to get access and some times on the same time.
Do you have a tips to put on it such as an Terminal server?
By design Remote Desktop on a XP Pro machine will only support one
user at a time. I suggest posting to the...
microsoft.public.windows.server.networking
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs
...or...
microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services
news group for help implementing a server/Terminal Services
solution.

Windows XP SP2 User Licence only permits ONE user may use the
machine at anyone time. SP1 and pre did allow this but not SP2.
XP SP1 and pre-SP1 did *not* allow for multiple remote desktop/user
sessions.
In fact - the 'hack' you speak of below has to do with a beta SP2 release
file and registry setting.
Googling for "Concurrent Remote Desktop" is all you need to do there - but
at this late of date since SP2 was beta - I wouldn't even bother trying it -
much less would I ever recommend it.
The most legal but unfortunate costly method of achieving this is
to use Windows Server 2003 or perhaps Google a crack which works a
treat too but is illegal!
It is not a limit of Windows XP SP2 specifically - it's a limit imposed
because Windows XP is not a Server OS.
Sooner Al gave a decent solution as I see it - look into and ask about a
Terminal Services solution in a different newsgroup.
The only other suggestion I have for the OP - communicate with the people
who created this application and see if you cannot work with them for a
better solution. The "cannot move it" explanation seems a bit iffy.
