multiple users access to Power BI desktop that installed on one VM

Can I install Power BI desktop on a shared VM that many developers can design reports using their own user accounts in that VM?   Is there any limit on concurrent users for that Power BI Desktop?

    I happend to work in such scenario. I installed Power BI desktop in one VM and my other colleagues connect to the VM and open Power BI desktop concurrently. I've not encounter any problem, just note that one pbix file can only be accessed by one user.
