Re: User licensing

Hi Mark,

TS licensing is *not* concurrent. It is either Per Device or Per User (named employee). Licenses can be reassigned away from one device/user to another but the reassignment must be permanent *except* in the case of when you use a temporary replacement device (in the case of the primary device needing repair) or a temporary employee (in the case of a temp worker filling in while an employee is out).

The same is true for Windows CALs if you choose the Per Device/Per User option for those. Other software have different licensing requirements, for example, Office is licensed Per Device.

You should count up the total number of devices and employees that will be connecting and based on that choose between Per Device or Per User or a mix of the two. If you post more information regarding the number of PCs, employees, employees that need to roam, etc., I will give you more advice.

Thanks.

I am planning to install Server 2003 and need some advice on
licensing.

My client needs a maximum of 10 concurrent users using an application.
However, they have hundreds of employees, any one of which could be
one of the 10 concurrent users.

On the server side, I understand Server 2003 comes with 5 CALs, so I
assume I will need 5 additional CALs. But am not sure what other licenses I
need.

I read about roaming users, and would assume I need per user
licensing for 10 roaming users, since the 10 users on any one day
could log in from different departments and so different devices.

Could someone clarify just what licensing I would need for this
configuration.

Thanks for any help you can give,
Mark
