1, Any particular reason this application running on Windows platform ?. 
2, Is the driver related some security hardware or something else ?. 
3, What is the Java version required for this application.

Latest LTS version of NixOS can run multiple versions JDK including Oracle and 
Open versions, starting from JDK8. - https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Java

Unfortunately they don't have stable GUI yet, but works well as any other linux 
server.

 Hello all,
We have a legacy Java application (thick client). Currently, users connect to 
MS terminal server, to access the application, where some driver's must be 
installed. The platform is windows. We are hoping to replace TS with an open 
source alternative to avoid licensing costs. I believe this should be a simple 
process.
My questions:- Can guacamole replace MS terminal server, or is it just an HTML5 
adapter ?- If it is a replacement, can it be installed on windows ?  
- Looking at this page 
https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/guacamole-architecture.html I can see that 
a user connects to guacd which in truns connects to the RDP server. Does it 
open a session for each user ? In other words, do we need a license for each 
user or does it require multiple connections ? 
- For docker installation, all I need is the server ( guacamole/guacd ), but my 
guess is Linux image, and not for windows. Is this correct ? 

Thank you in advance for your help.
