Guest just bob Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Need to get this started. What licensing do I need? I have the OS, Server 2003 STD, ready to go on a VM host. I need to host five sessions who want to use our third-party apps and MS Office 2003, which I do have open license for. I assume I need some sort of terminal service server license and five CAL's? Or does the Server OS, which came with five server CALs, cover part or all of this? If someone knows the software skus from Microsoft or CDW please advise. Thanks, -Bob
Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Re: TS noob needs license advice to get started If you already have the OS with the server CALs, you only need Terminal Server CALs. Note: both server and TS CALs come in 2 different tastes: Per User or Per Device. Make sure that you choose the licenseg mode on the TS which is best for you: * if you have more users than clients (like in a classroom or multiple shift situation, where several people connect to the TS from shared workstations), then Per Device licensing is cheaper. * if you have more clients than users (users connect from multiple clients, i.e their office PC, a laptop and their home PC), then Per User licensing is cheaper. You have to install the TS CALs on the TS Licensing Server (can run on the same server as the TS itself), abd make sure that the TS licensing mode matches the type of licenses you buy. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ "just bob" <kilbyfan@aoldotcom> wrote on 30 jul 2008 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > Need to get this started.
