TS noob needs license advice to get started

[Guest just bob]

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

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.
