Re: Windows 2000 TSCAL for Vista

Richard,
I've forwarded your question to the Microsoft TS Team and asked
them to post an authorative answer here.
I *assume*, like Benny and you, that Vista clients should receive a
built-in license from the W2K TS LS.
Question is, does a W2K TSLS 'know' this :-)

Thanks for the reply Benny. I enjoyed your book, by the way.

That was my guess as well, based on the same reasoning. However,
I was hoping for a more definitive answer. I have looked on the
MS website, and there was no mention of this that I could find.
Can you suggest any other way to find the answer to this
question?

Under Windows 2000, operating system equivalency allowed
clients with the same or with a higher version than the server
legal access to Terminal Services without a Terminal Server
Client Access License. I would guess that this also applies to
Vista and is not limited to Windows XP.

If a user has a Windows 2000 or XP Professional workstation,
Windows 2000 Terminal Services does not require the purchase
of an additional Terminal Services Client Access License.
Windows 2000 has "built in" CALs for those operating systems.

My question is whether Vista users will enjoy the same "built
in" license as XP and 2000 Professional when using RDP to log
into a Windows 2000 Terminal Server.
