In regards to the 1st paragraph: Did you try the right-click integration allowing to call also desktop tools from certain places in NPM? If you would install the desktop toolset on your server and have the users RDP to it, they will be able to run also desktop tools from Orion console... one at the time of course, unless you have citrix...
2#: Not everyone needs advanced mapping functions or toolset (one size never fits all...) . Hence, we allow separate purchases/combinations.
3#: You actually can install the Toolset on the Web on the same server as Orion. One workaround for you might be to create additional Orion user, assign him Webtoolset access and have the credentials shared with the colleagues possibly interested in real-time monitoring on a Web.
I will ask the website team to update our SWI pages to be more self-explanatory about the per seat licensing in case of a Toolset..Thanks for pointing out!
Let me please know if having problems to setup any of recommendations from above and we can have a call.
