Question about W2K Server CALs

[Guest tim1948]

My interest in W2K Server may be somewhat unusual, but hopefully

someone will address it. My wife and I have two computers, one good

and the other obsolete. An experiment indicated that RDP would allow

the latter to function as a thin client, though consumer Windows does

not support concurrent sessions. (And that's what I want, to use the

better computer as an application server.)

 

I purchased the "promo" edition of W2K Advanced Server for $88 online,

which has a "10-client access limit." Does anyone know whether I shall

be able to use it for my intended purpose without purchasing CALs?--at

any rate, I have only the vaguest idea as to what they are or how to

activate them.

 

Otherwise I could go with Linux, though it is more difficult to

configure and forces the terminal user to use Linux also. But with W2K

still not quite obsolete, this seems like an interesting provisional

solution.
