Per user licensing

Posted January 28, 2008 · January 28, 2008

Hi all,

I've a Windows 2003 Server R2 Enterprise Edition SP2 with terminal services

installed, I've set this server's licensing mode as "per user". I've a

Windows 2003 Server R2 Standard Edition SP2 with licensing server installed,

I've bought 10 TSCAL "per user" and installed on it. Into the terminal

server configuration I've specified that the license server hav not to be

discovered automatically but it have to be the machine on wich I've

installed the license server, all things seems to work fine.

In my license server I see that all 10 TSCAL are "available" but there are

several days that at least 6 user access the terminal server, what's wrong?

Re: Per user licensing

Andrea,

TS CAL "Per user" licensing in Windows Server 2003 TS is still functioning

as "honor" system - so there is no built-in license usage tracking

mechanism. You, as the system admin, are responsible for making sure that

the number of TS users does not exceed the number of "per user" TS CALs you

have purchased...
