Terminal Service User CALs

[Guest Pearl]

We have 30 users who need to access our Terminal Server. The Terminal Server

also houses the TS License Service. We have 20 User CALs because only 15

users will be accessing the Server at any given time. Is this OK? Or, will

we need 30 CALs?

The TS CALs are *not* concurrent. This means that you

need a TS CAL for each user. The alternative is to choose

Per Device licensing, in which case you would need a TS

CAL for each unique device. If you have more devices

than users (for example, users connect from office pcs and

home pcs) then you choose Per User, otherwise you should

choose Per Device.

thanks but we have 5 users who will be leaving the department soon. We will

want to replace them. Does this mean we have to buy 5 more licenses? Or, is

there a way to reuse the licenses for the employees who are leaving the

department.

If you have 5 employees that leave the company then you can

use those same licenses for the 5 that you hire to replace them.

 

From your descriptions I would say you need 30 TS Per User

CALs to cover your needs.
