Re: Licensing Office 2003 on terminal server/Citrix

Our in house licensing is telling me that the thin client can't hold a
license and therefore it is user based, where the workstations can have a
license which makes it device based. (Based on my example below 350 office
licenses total)
The Citrix Consulting Company I have been in contact with to accomplish this
project tells me one license per device. (Based on my example 250 license
total)

That's why I felt to post this message and find out if other users have been
in my situation. If you're saying there is an offical source at Microsoft
that can answer this question you may have an email or phone # I can try.
Thanks again!!
