- Definition
- Pricing page FAQ: "A User is the initiator of a session. If you want to start Remote Access, you need a valid license assigned to your respective account, for example via your own AnyDesk address or alias."
- Counting rules
- Only the side that initiates a session is counted; "only the initiator of a session needs a license, participants are free" (pricing FAQ). Licensed users are a team-size limit, separate from concurrent connections: Standard allows up to 20 users but starts with 1 connection (Help Center, updated 2026-05-05).
- Floors / minimums
- Solo 1 licensed user; Standard up to 20; Advanced up to 100; Ultimate starts with 5 licensed users with unlimited additional users as an add-on (pricing page and Help Center).
