> I do not remember how they are assigned
They are assigned according to how you configure the Terminal Server, per-seat or per-user From: Art DeKneef [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 05, 2009 3:29 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: TS Licensing I go by how the business needs are. Going by your numbers you have 150 employees that used computers. How many computers do you have for the employees to use? How many do not need TS access? If they have 50 users that need access from 75 different computers then User CALs are used. The people can use any computer that is open. More users require more licenses. If they have 50 computers and these computers are access by 75 people then device CALs are used. This scenario allows more users without an increase of TS licenses. You can have both types of licenses on the same server. I do not remember how they are assigned other than when they are entered in the licensing server. Hope that makes sense.

We have 70 TS CAL's and have had trouble running short on those. Up to this point we have purchased "device" CAL's and are thinking we might be better off adding "user" CAL's? Nothing fancy, all our servers are W2k3 SP2 and our clients are XP Pro. Everything works, we are just running out of licenses. Wondering if anyone out there has 2 licenses servers up so they can run both types and how does that work for you(if it is even possible to do on one network??) (yes, we have 25 temporary licenses, those are plumb full as well) thanks for any help. jeff ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
