Multiple Visual Studio's connecting to one Mac for Xamarin iOS

Our team currently has two business licences to Xamarin and one Mac book Pro, which is connected to the companies network.

If one of us opens the Hello World app within Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 7, we can connect, build, deploy to the Mac and see the iPhone simulator running the application. However, if the second user attempts to do the same, they're unable to connect to the Build Host, as it's currently being used.

Is there a way to either manually disconnect the connection between PC 1 and Mac, so that PC 2 can connect, or can multiple PC's connect simultaneously with a additional build arguments?

Many Thanks
