Licensing in Thin Client Enviourment???

[Guest Saurabh]

Greetings!!!

 

I have confusion regarding licensing, i will explain my enviorment, kindly

help with that.

 

There will be one windows 2003 standard edition. And 60 Nodes, with thin

client pci cards. Now for this , will i have to buy 1 TS CAL and 60 User Cal

or 60 TS CAL and 60 User CAL ??? As there is no remote incoming or outgoing

connetion. There will be only one server.

 

Awaiting for your kind help.

 

Warm Regards,

Saurabh

Hello Saurabh,

 

Licensing requirements for computers that access a Windows Server 2003-based

Terminal Server

The Windows Server 2003 licensing model requires a server license for each

copy of the server software that is installed. Terminal Services functionality

is included in this Windows Server 2003 license. In addition to a server

license, a Windows Server 2003 CAL (Windows CAL) is required. If you want

to conduct a Windows session, an incremental Terminal Server Client Access

License (TS CAL) is required also. A Windows session is defined as a session

where the server software hosts a graphical user interface (GUI) on a device.

For Windows sessions, a TS CAL is required for each user or device. The following

two types of TS CALs are available:. TS Device CAL: A TS Device CAL permits

one device (that is used by any user) to conduct Windows sessions on any

of your terminal servers.

. TS User CAL: A TS User CAL permits one user (who uses any device) to conduct

Windows sessions on any of your terminal servers.

You may decide to use a combination of TS Device CALs and TS User CALs at

the same time. You can have a terminal server request TS User CALs (by selecting

the Per User licensing option) or TS Device CALs (by selecting the Per Device

licensing option [the default option]) but not both at the same time.

 

Note To use both User and Device TS CALs at the same time on the same Terminal

Server, configure the server to use the Per User TS CAL licensing option.

Failure to have the appropriate number of User CALs or Device CALs for each

device or user who is connecting is a violation of the EULA.

 

With Microsoft Windows 2000 Terminal Services licensing, if a client device

is running the most recent version of the Windows desktop operating system,

it does not have to have a TS CAL to satisfy the licensing requirement. However,

with Windows Server 2003, a TS CAL is required for each device that or user

who is using Terminal Services functionality, regardless of the operating

system that is running on that device.

 

Best regards
