With "connect directly to the agents", do you mean directly from the
ThinLinc client? This isn't intended to work, but I assume that this
agent is also running a separate master service.

In ThinLinc the master server is the license server. Since you are
connecting to a different master (which is running on the same machine
as your new agent) you will not be getting the licenses from your
original master.

You say that you can't use explicit_agentselection anymore since you
have a second agent? Multiple agents can be specified in that
parameter. See the documentation here:

https://www.cendio.com/resources/docs/tag/configuration_customizing_user_session.html#configuration_explicit_agentselection

We are aware that explicit_agentselection is very limited, the next
release of ThinLinc will include support for subclusters. See this
entry in our bugtracker:
