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

From May 2017, you can develop app without MAC. Microsoft Xamarin introduce a Live Player. With Live Player, iOS apps can be deployed directly onto an iPhone or other iDevice from a PC running Visual Studio, where the code can then be tested and debugged.
Using a Mac computer for Xamarin development requires the following software/SDK versions. Check your operating system version and follow the instructions for the Xamarin installer. Xcode 10 requires macOS High Sierra (10.13) or newer. The iOS 12 SDK ships with Xcode 10.
With Xamarin. Forms, you can use C# or XAML to build cross-platform user interfaces for iOS, Android, and macOS.
Xamarin 3.3 (stable) for Visual Studio now has a button for quick disconnect from a build host.
EDIT:
Xamarin 4.0
