Licences

[Guest Glenn Clark]

Hi all

 

If I have a server used for terminal services login and a separate server

running sql server. As well as the ts licences do I need windows cals for

both servers of just 1 licence for each user?

 

Many thanks

RE: Licences

 

For terminal services, you'll need a terminal services user or device CAL for

each user or device connecting to the server. You will also need a Windows

CAL for each user connecting to the TS.

 

For SQL Server, you will need a SQL CAL for each user or device connecting

to the SQL Server. A processor licence might be appropriate if you have over

a certain number of connections (see links) or running SQL Server as a

backend database for your website - i.e. you might not know how many

connections you will have.

 

See the links below for a 'clearer' picture from Microsoft.

Unfortunately, you cannot get away with just having 1 licence per server!!!
