   Yes, I read TWO FAQ you sent it to me, but can not get
there, page not found,
Terminal Server CAL Transition Plan FAQ
>>http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/howtobuy/lice
n sing/tscaltransfaq.mspx
and
Windows Server 2003 Pricing and Licensing FAQ
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/howtobuy/licen
sing/priclicfaq.mspx.
yesterday I try to use remote desktop connect to win2003
server gave me same error, I thought you mentioned to me
is free for XP machine, I just want Remote Desktop for
Administration, with 2 free connections, without
licensing requirements? that all I want.
