Multiple Sessions per User in HotSpot

I am in the process of setting up a HotSpot at my work where it requires users to log into the HotSpot (using their Windows Domain username and password via our own RADIUS server). When a user tries to log in that is already logged into the HotSpot on another computer, they are told that "no more sessions are allowed for user <username>". I actually want people to be able to log into multiple computers at the same time with their own username (since some people have more than one computer that they use). I'm using RouterOS 3.23. Is there any way to do this?

I've found this forum post (http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=11541) but it is asking for the opposite of what I'm asking for. I also found that in RouterOS 2.7 (http://www.mikrotik.com/documentation/m ... tspot.html) you could set the "only-one" flag to "no" for the HotSpot profile (/ip hotspot profile set default only-one=no) . I tried doing that on my router but the "only-one" option was not available. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Joel

Your looking for shared-users, in hotspot user profiles.

/ip hotspot user profile set default shared-users=x

Cheers.

Same question, how can you change shared users in user manage?
from Mikrotik User Manager\profiles, there is shared users, I change it to 5 users, but it did not work until I changed it from winbox.
