Re: 2003 Terminal Server in Windows 2000 Domain

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The normal Server CAL's are typically good for all servers of that OS. This
is called per seat licenses. If you have more than 1 server that is what
you want. Otherwise your buying per server which means you need a CAL for
each server a client would connect to. That can get very very expensive
very quickly. So, typcially, a company will buy per seat licenses which
allows them to connect to an unlimited amount of servers so adding a new
server does not require new CAL's. The same for TS CAL's. A device (or per
user as well in Win2k3) can connect to any # of terminal servers within that
organization. the only time to buy new CAL's (of either) is when you add
more devices or users.

Now as to buying for CAL's for 2000 server, from a terminal service
perspective, if your running Win2k Pro or WinXP, then you they come with
'free' TS CAL's for the Windows 2000 side of things.

Does any of that make sense?
