No, we've purchased the required CALs. We questioned not having to buy CALS since it didn't seem right. Just looking for an alternate solution to Microsoft's Remote Desktop App since there seems to be an issue with turning the session screen black on some machines, which requires the client to exit the session and log back in.

I'm not sure you can do that. The TSplus software is based in Czechoslovakia and written by programmers in Russia and Paris. It's possible this is a difference in legal jurisdictions, or something lost in translation, or flat-out piracy, but I don't think this will fly in the U.S. On Thu, Feb 18, 2016 at 8:40 AM, Richard Caruso <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.
