Hi all,
Anyone know how access runtime work on terminal server?, is there any limitations of users capacity which working simultaneously?

works in pretty much the same way as a full version - each user will have their own copy of the front end in terminal server and their own copy of runtime installed on their profile, so no capacity issue there. Assuming the backend is access then the technical limit for concurrent (all logged in at the same time) users is 255 tho performance will probably not be that great. Depends on what users are doing but a more practical limit is around 30 or 40 but could be as low as 4 or 5.

First install for a new user would probably be package and deploy so the user gets the runtime version installed automatically (subject to IT restrictions) - after that you can just update the front end as required as you would for full access.

For users, performance will be much the same as if the backend was installed on their machine, so if your current setup has the backend on a network server somewhere, I would expect them to see a significant improvement.

I presume you are aware that runtime does not provide many features of full access, so you will need to build your own substitutes as required - these include the navigation window and most of the ribbon (which to be fair you would not want users to see anyway), dropdown menus, some shortcut keys, unhandled errors (db will just close) etc. It is also recommended that macros are not used because they do not handle errors (or at least used to be the case, not sure about latest versions)
