Trusting me (past tense is really what I mean), I must have blown right by it in the setup, as I had no reason to think I would be having to deal with a wnd layer of CAL charges for TS. And, as said before, it was not clearly disclosed on the 2003 server pack itself. I would have had to license 2003 Server, then actually go slow enough in the install to have read the advisory, to see it. By then it would have been to late, as nobody will take back opened software - unless it is defective in some cases (I guess any M$ OS ought to be returnable under thoat condition then <g>).
