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

Check the links I provided for information on obtaining free transition ts cals.

Yes, you must purchase TS CALs for the remaining XP clients if you want them to connect to your TS.

Thanks.

For your Windows 2003 TS, you need to have:

1.) Windows Server 2003 server license for the server 

Yes, got one for the TS Member server and a SBS 2003 licence for the
Domain Controller.

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


Each PC has an SBS CAL

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


About 5 of the 20 PCs connecting to the Terminal Server were bought
before that date.  How do you get a free TS CAL?

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


We have an Office licence on the Terminal Server for each PC that will
connect to the TS


So ... what you're both saying is that there is no way around it -
you must buy TS CALs for XP clients purchased after 24 May 2003. Is
that right?
