Since any of the remote users may be accessing the 2003 TS, I believe Samz
is going to need either 15 TS User CALs or 15 TS Device CALs (unless the
remote users are logging in from the same remote machine). He will need
to assign a TS CAL to each remote user or each remote computer.

If the remote users also have dedicated workstations in the main office, I
agree that Remote Web Workplace (RWW) may be the best ($$) approach.

Hi,

SBS2003 cannot run TS in application mode and it only has 2
administration licenses.

Yes you can add a windows 2003 and 5 TS lic, which allows any of the 15
to logon but only 5 at a time, so ok there.

BTW, have you considered RWW ?, are the pcs XP ?

I have a 15 user site and various users want to connect from Home.

Do I need to buy 15 TS Licenses ?

No more than 3-5 users will connect at any one time but this can be any
one
of 15 users

or can I simply add a Windows 2003 Server and add 5 Terminal Server
Licenses
??
