The same way you keep track of them on workstations. AFAIK, it isn't based on simultaneous usage.

Guest sihfmis Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Re: Controlling Office Suite Licenses thru TS Thanks for the info but it still does not help me. Maybe I am not asking the question correctly. I will try again. Through TS, I want to access/manage my MS Office Suite users. I have 50 licenses available. How can I stop users from getting into TS when I reach the 50 user limit?

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Re: Controlling Office Suite Licenses thru TS There isn't an easy way, AFAIK :-) What Lanwench meant with "it isn't based on simultaneous usage" is that it isn't enough to make sure that you have a maximum of 50 users running Office at the same time, because Office licenses are per device, not per user. So to be compliant, you would have to select 50 specific clients, and only allow access to Office from those clients, irrespective of which users are connecting from those clients. Office 2003 Licensing - Office as a client on Windows Terminal Services http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ork2003/HA011403011033.aspx One way to achieve this could be to run a script which checks the %clientname% variable against a list of allowed clients, and start Office from that script. Clumsy, I agree. Office licensing seems to assume that, sooner or later, Office will be used from every client, meaning that you simply are supposed to buy as many Office licenses as you have clients. For most organisations, this is probably true, but it would be nice if there was a way to be compliant with the EULA even if not every client runs Office. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ =?Utf-8?B?c2loZm1pcw==?= <sihfmis@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 06 aug 2007 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > Thanks for the info but it still does not help me.
