Re: License in vista

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

No version, not even W2K Prof, ever included a license.
BUT: W2K Pro, XP Pro and Vista Busines clients receive a free TS
CAL form the TS Licensing Server (from the built-in pool of
"Existing W2K Per Device TS CALs on the server).

Hi Ole,

My understanding is that Windows 2000 Professional came with a
Client Access License for Windows Server 2000. Aside from that
no CAL or TS CAL is included in any version of Windows.

Sorry!

Hi everybody,

does Vista Business have an included license for WTS 2000?

If not, does another Vista Version?

Thank you

Ole
