The licenses for the products on the laptops and desktops is a retail license.
We can certainly get a volume license for the TS machine, but if we need to also buy another volume license for our current installs, well, that's a lot of money, and likely won't happen. My minion has called MSFT licensing, and the results were, well, obscure. I'm probably going to have to call myself. After we get past the licensing, however, then we get to the technical question: Can I limit access on the TS box to a set of named users, however that might be maintained, and how is that set up?
