Re: Licencing TS via SBS Server = free CALs???

For your Windows 2003 TS, you need to have:

1.) Windows Server 2003 server license for the server

2.) Windows Server CAL for each device or user as appropriate
If the user/device already has an SBS CAL, then this requirement is met

3.) Windows TS CAL for each device or user as appropriate
If the machine that is connecting had a Windows XP Pro license that was purchased before April 24, 2003, then you are eligible for a free TS CAL for it

4.) Any other required licenses, for example each physical device that will be running a MS Office app on the TS server needs to have an office license

I've been told by our supplier that if Terminal Services Licencing is
installed on a server running SBS 2003, the Terminal Server (a
separate Win2003 Server) doesn't need CALs for XP clients.

All the Microsoft stuff I've read (plus Brian Madden's guides) seem to
suggest this isn't the case, but our suppliers insist they have this
working with other networks.

Can anyone confirm who's right?

Many thanks!
