connect to multiple remote servers concurrently

I have a computer with multiple screens and would like to dedicate each screen to connect to a distinct distant VPS/server.
Is it possible to launch multiple instances of Windows RDP at the same time in order to achieve the purpose of connecting to multiple remote machines in parallel ?
If not, any other softwares which would allow me to achieve this goal ? Thanks

Have you tried?
If you try I am pretty sure you will succeed
You can also use something like mRemoteNG https://mremoteng.org/
Holy hand holding shit.
Windows rdp will only allow you to connect to one system at a time. You can open multiple vnc and I think chrome remote desktop tabs at once though.
RoyalTS allows multiple instances of RDP. Just like chrome tabs.
No, you can connect to multiple systems at once. Well, at least I can.
This thread is making me irrationally mad
No. Just open another rdp, whats the problem?
Last time I tried windows wouldn't let you open multiple rdp client sessions. Maybe it has changed.
Language barrier maybe.
If you're referring to multiple RDP sessions (remoting to) using the same user on the same machine then no Windows doesn't do that, you can have concurrent sessions using different users though; but if you want screen sharing then RDP doesn't cut it.
In the really odd case that you're really talking about not being able to remote to different machines from a single Windows machine then you probably should stop smoking what you're smoking.
To the same machine/VM as the same user, no. To the same machine/VM as different users, it depends on your Windows license. From a machine to many different machines: that has always been possible (at least since RDP became a thing).
If we are reading your post correctly it would have taken no longer to try as it took to type the question, which is why people are a touch flabbergasted.
Rdp is not something I regularly use and I haven't tried to connect to multiple servers from one machine for a long time but from memory it wouldn't let you launch multiple sessions at once. Maybe I am wrong though.
I dont use Windows.
In that case then answer to
is no. The Windows RDP client runs under Windows, so if you are not running Windows you can't run one instance of the Windows RDP client never mind multiple.
Unless the question is asking what RDP client to use on a different OS, but that didn't seem to be what you were asking and if it was you didn't state the OS and we are not clairvoyant enough to be able to guess.
You may need to be much more clear about what you are asking, in order to get an answer that you find useful.
RDP always allowed you to connect to multiple (distinct) windows machines ever since dinosaurs roamed the earth. So it was the second case, pass that shit brother.
I think you are. Connecting to multiple servers has never been an issue with rdp.
