Hi George
Are you running 2003 servers with Terminal Services or Remote Desktop
enabled. Terminal Services is the old 2000 TS in application mode, while
remote desktop is the old 2K TS in Remote Admin mode - and does not seem to
need licensing beyond your server cals. Setting remote desktop mode is the
same as in an XP client, and it allows 2 remote connections (like the old
2K) plus the ability to take over the console (as the XP one does). IT
also allows multiple people to connect to the same TS remote admin session
so two admins can fight over settings with the same screen.
We have been running it on several servers for 16 months without ever
getting a license warning, although all the servers set up with TS turned
on failed after 120 days with "no license server available messages".

Yes, I am quite aware of the new licensing in Windows 2003. However, I am
more annoyed at the fact that I need to purchase TS licenses just for daily
admin stuff. What the heck is the point of offering Terminal services as a
tool for admins, I may be better off buying 3rd party software (Remote
Admin). I really wish someone from the MVP services would jump in and
explain why offer terminal services for admin purposes only to be forced to
spend money on a TS license?

Yes, the licensing has changed. In 2003 Terminal Services, you need a CAL
for every user or device (depending on the model you choose). The
'unlimited pool' we had in 2000 for 2000/XP clients is no more. Details
here:

There is also a CAL transition program for XP machines you purchased before
the release of 2003 in April 2003. Details are here:

Hope this helps!

Hi folks,
Can anyone verify that under Windows 2003 TS server, even Windows XP
clients need to purchase a TS license? I was under the impression that
Windows XP clients did not need to purchase the TS license, but what do you
know, they showed up in my temporary license tab in TS Licensing GUI.
Thanx
George
