Using one Username to login to TS

We have setup a Windows 2003 Terminal Server as a member server in an
SBS2000 domain. The client purchased (10) TS Device CALs in addition
to the (10) Windows Device CALs. There are (10) XP Pro client machines
on a shopfloor that need to connect to the TS to use a data collection
program and possibly one other TS-based application (Solidworks
Viewer).
We setup (10) unique AD user accounts/passwords (Shopfloor1,
Shopfloor2, etc) for these TS users. They login into the domain with
the same credentials they use to login to the TS. We made these (10)
users members of a their own/new Security Group. We plan to implement
the Group Policy for locking down the TS. All works great.
Now the software vendor for the TS application is saying that we need
to login to the TS using the same username in order to run the data
collection program so that only (1) license for the application is
taken for these (10) users. They recommended TS for this program/use
but mentioned nothing of just using (1) TS user account until we found
the problem.
We have never setup a TS so that multiple users use the same TS
account and have been researching pro/cons, but do not really have a
complete picture of what settings we need to change here and what the
ramifications may be.
For these users, we did not plan to redirect any folders, etc. They
will be saving no data, etc other than from within the data collection
app (mainly using barcode scanners). They will need to have mapped
drives (1) with the TS and (1) to the SBS box for reading Solidworks
files.
1. What setting(s) do we change with regards to allowing a user to
login to the TS from multiple PCs concurrently?
2. The customer purchased/installed Per Device TS CALs & Per Device
Windows CALs. Do we have to have both of these changed to Per User? If
so, how do we change this??
3. Since the users need to have very restricted access to their local
desktops and the TS, is it going to be possible to lockdown the local
desktop with one domain user account?? Or do we keep the (10) separate
accounts for logging into the domain?
Thanks!
