I need to use Visual Studio 2012, in a windows virtual machine, and to be able to login using Remote Desktop and MULTIPLES sessions access. (Multiple users (very few) can connect to the same time)
I read this is not possible using win8.
What can I do to gain virtualization benefits ?
Thanks in advance.

I'm running into issues trying to register Visual Studio 2017 and 2015 with my Visual Studio Online Subscription (a.k.a. MSDN). I'm using a VMWare VDI using their Horizon Client if that matters. The OS is Windows 10, and the Visual Studio SKU is Professional. My client requires me to run under two separate identities, one with limited privileges for non-development work, and an administrator account for development work (annoying, but not unreasonable given my client is a very large corporation). So, I run Visual Studio under that admin account using Run as administrator.
My problem: On the virtual machine Visual Studio hangs when I click the Sign-In button, or the Check for an updated license on the product registration sign-in page. Note: This problem only occurs from the virtual machine using my administrator account. It works fine on the virtual machine under my normal non-admin account. Nor do I have issues on the physical machine I'm using to run the VM. That said, my client requires me to use the virtual machine.
I'm just wondering if anyone else as seen this same issue. There is something about running under my admin account on VMWare that is hanging Visual Studio registration as soon as I click sign-in. Likely a firewall or proxy setting, not sure. I'm working closely with my client's IT Operations, but they are as perplexed as I.

I have VS 2013 Community and the installation of VS 2013 Ultimate replace the Community edition. How can I install the Ultimate edition without uninstall the Community edition?
Visual Studio installations use a common base location and each addition you install on top of Professional/Community basically extends the Visual Studio installation to give an integrated environment.
It's how SQL Server Data Tools, BizTalk and other extensions are able to provide a stand-alone editor on a system that has no Visual Studio installation, but it also means that it will just "extend" your community edition.
Alternative options for you, if you want to work only with the license you have available for personal use are:
Use Windows' boot to VHD feature, allowing you to multi-boot into a Virtual machine, either for personal or work usage. This uses additional space, but also gives very good separation. If you're really good with dism, you may be able to create a base image for your personal and your work environment to save space.
Boot from a secondary harddrive using the windows Boot Manager.
Use Hyper-V (or VMware or Virtual Box) on your Windows installation and create a virtual machine for either work or personal use of Visual Studio (or create two Virtual machines).
Create a Windows-to-go installation on a USB drive and boot from that.
Host one of your development environments in the cloud, use the Visual Studio images on Azure for example.
Or use your work license for your personal use and try not to use the ultimate features ;). as far as licensing is concerned, you are licensed to use Visual Studio. As Lasse says, it loos like it may be a company policy issue instead of a Microsoft licensing issue. Remark: confirmation of that pending.
Visual Studio 2010, C#, ASP.NET & SQL Server 2008 are my main development tools, recently I've bought a VDS (virtual dedicated server) which runs on Win server 2008 R2, my vendor has install SQL server 2008 express on my server, but I'm going to have VS2010 on my server also, as I think running and debugging my web apps on server would be much faster and easier than remote tests, is it possible at all to use VS2010 and code in my server? I can use remote desktop to view my server so I think it should be possible.
I use VS2010 ultimate on my local machine, what is the difference between VS2010 express and ultimate as I've that VS express is free of charge, so it is easy to download and install it on server
what should I do now? guide me please
You can also use remote debugging. Depending on how much control you have on your server you may be able to get it working. In Visual Studio when you choose Debug -> Attach To Process it allows you to specify a remote machine to connect to. On the remote machine you'd connect to the w3wp.exe process associated with your AppPool. If you went this route you would not need Visual Studio on your production machine.
I do not know the details of your situation but why would you want to debug your application on your (production) server? That is what your development environment (local machine) is for. Once you are satisfied with your local build you deploy it to your server.
I have Visual Studio 2010 in a Vista host and I'm trying to debug a C program in a Windows 2000 guest. Apparently there is no normal way to do that because VS2010 no longer supports Windows 2000 CRT. So what I've done is I'm using the msvsmon from VS2008 instead:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x86\msvsmon.exe
I have set the right firewall settings I think. I can connect to the guest machine on the host by doing \192.168.114.128\c$ for example with no problem.
When I click the VMWare play button in visual studio to debug msvsmon will start in Windows 2000 but that's it. There is a series of dings and then a message box. I am not logged in as the same user name on the host as I am as the guest. Is that really necessary? Does anyone have experience in this area or good diagnostics?
There is an option in the guest msvsmon where I can disable authentication but I still can't execute using the play button.
Thanks
Have you tried to use no authentication and then use the attach to process option in Visual Studio? You need to start the app in the Windows 2000 box first.
I am aware of the upgrade options for SharePoint 2010
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=e8b66eb3-27c7-4a39-a2e1-3e7d18b12ee1
The above talks more of a Production Deployment.
And i have seen so many Windows 7 VHD boot for SharePoint 2010.
Would like to hear options for the MS VPC with Windows 2008 Server+MOSS2007 towards upgrading to SharePoint 2010.
The above is for personal lab and exercises.
Please share your views (URLs, Forum Discussion) pros, cons.
MS VPC doesn't support 64 bit client, so it's not an option for running SharePoint 2010
The main options available are:
On your physical machine
VHD boot
Hyper-V
VMWare
1 and 2 only support one server installations
3 doesn't work well on laptops
So my preferred choice is 4
But it very much depends on your machine and needs
