    If you have a concurrent license you can get the number of sessions running this way, just set $hzConn to the connection server, $hzUser to a user that con logon to the connection server, $hzPass to $hzUsers password, and $hzDomain to the domain that $hzUser is in. I got this from Horizon View API - The SLOG – SimonLong/Blog

    # Import the Horizon module

    Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.HorizonView

    # Establish connection to Connection Server

    $hvServer = Connect-HVServer -server $hzConn -User $hzUser -Password $hzPass -Domain $hzDomain

    $ViewAPI = $hvServer.ExtensionData

    $query_service = New-Object "Vmware.Hv.QueryServiceService"

    $query = New-Object "Vmware.Hv.QueryDefinition"

    $query.queryEntityType = 'SessionLocalSummaryView'

    $Sessions = $query_service.QueryService_Query($ViewAPI,$query)

    $Sessions.Results.NamesData | Select-Object -Property UserName,DesktopType,DesktopName,MachineOrRDSServerDNS

    Named users would be harder since you need to count the users. The API has a license function, but its just the features enabled in the license not the usuage.
