Re: Per User Cals

Hi,

Believe me this is a very strange setup and what I have told you is not the
half of it. There are only the admins working on them. Good to hear that
the per user licenses will do fine. Just another quick question. I
downloaded one of the test aps from the Resource Kit (tsctst.exe) and have
run it on all the admin's systems. They are currently all showing temporary
der device cals. I have since installed the Per User CALs. When can I
expect to see the licences change over to the permant ones?

Thanks again, you have been a great help.

Yes, if you have installed terminal Services, then it's a full-
blown TS, and if you need more than 2 concurrent connections,
that's also what you want.

There's no general problem at all with using Per User licenses, I
just wanted to point out that you cannot use 2 different types of
licenses on a single Terminal Server.

So if you have 200 regular users connecting to these 10 terminal
Servers, and these 200 users are licensed Per Device, then you
cannot have your 15 administrators connect with a Per user license.

But if you only have these 15 remote Administrators and no other
users at all, then per user licensing is fine.

I'm probably just seeing problems which don't exist, because I
cannot really imagine a situation where you would need more than 2
concurrent Administration connections.

Hi,

Due to the network configuration most of these users will be
logging into the one machine. It is only 2 concurrent
connections allowed through the "remote admin" role. I believe
they are full blown Terminal Servers as I have installed the
"Terminal Server" software taking them out of remote
administation mode. Is that correct? I would like to use a per
Device method but the users accessing often change and it would
be a waste of licences.

In regards to your work around, thats seems a little
complicated. I was under the impressoin that a user could
connect to a domain with a Terminal Licensing Server and access
any server under that Terminal Licensing Server umbrella?

Thanks again.

Per User TS CALs are currently not managed at all.
You only have to make sure that you buy as many Per User TS
CALs as you have connecting persons (*not* concurrent, and
*not* user accounts), and all will be fine.

Just to make sure that I understand you correctly: these 15
users do remote administration, but the 10 servers are all full
blown Terminal Servers, is that correct?
Because in Remote Administration mode you don't need any TS
CALs at all, but you will have a maximum of 2 concurrent
connections.

And if the 10 servers are indeed Terminal Servers, and these 15
users are administrators, how are your regular users licensed?
If regular users are licensed Per Device, then you must have a
Per Device license for your administrators as well, since a
Terminal Server can only use one type of licenses.
Only way around this is to setup a dedicated Terminal Server in
Per user licensing mode, to which your administrators connect,
and from there let them connect to the other Terminal Servers,
which are in Per Device licensing mode. RDP over RDP. Gives a
small performance hit, but nothing too bad.

Hi,

I am setting up a network and am having trouble with the
Terminal Services Licensing. The network needs to be setup
the following way:

I have up to 15 remote users who need to do remote
adminstration on 10 or so machines. I have purchased 15 Per
User licenses as their machines will change quite often.
Ideally I would like all of them to be able to log in at the
same time on the same account. Is this possible?? If not do
teh Per User CALS link into the Active Directory somehow and
authentication of the users can happen that way?

Thanks for youe help.
