Now what happens if you want to allow two (2) of those PCs to log into the server using Windows 2003 Terminal Services? It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actually very straight forward\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 You simply need two (2) Windows 2003 Terminal Services CALs for those two (2) PCs. You can see this represented below:<\/p>\n
Since you can purchase either User or Device Terminal Services CALs (they are separate items, so purchase the ones you want), the number of Terminal Services CALs you need depends on the total number of Users or Devices (depending on which option you choose to license by) that connect to the server utilizing Terminal Services. These are not concurrent use, so each separate Device or User that utilizes Terminal Services would need their own Terminal Services<\/p>\n Some common questions:<\/p>\n 1) Does a Windows 2003 Server include a Windows 2003 Terminal Services CAL<\/p>\n – Answer: No, they are separate items.<\/p>\n 2) Does an SBS 2003 Server CAL include a Windows 2003 Terminal Services CAL?<\/p>\n – Answer: No, they are separate items.<\/p>\n 3) Does the Windows Desktop Operating System include a Windows 2003 Terminal Services CAL?<\/p>\n – Answer: No, the Windows Desktop Operating System license does not include a Windows 2003 Terminal Services CAL<\/p>\n – NOTE: Customers who had Windows XP Professional licenses prior to<\/u><\/strong> April 24, 2003 are eligible to receive a free Windows 2003 Terminal Services CAL for that device. Read the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Terminal Server Licensing Changes and Transition Plan<\/font><\/a><\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d document for details. These customers have until June 30, 2007 to claim these free Windows 2003 Terminal Services CALs.<\/p>\n So what happens if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re on an SBS 2003 network and bring up a Windows 2003 Server as a member server on the domain to act as your Terminal Server? Now what? Again, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not that bad. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s take a look\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n So here is how your SBS 2003 Server network would look with a Windows 2003 Server member server:<\/p>\n Remember, your SBS 2003 CALs provide you rights to access the Windows 2003 Server as a member server on the network from a server perspective, so you would not need to purchase additional Windows Server 2003 CALs for your Users or Devices. Now, if you want to allow two (2) of those Users or Devices to access the Windows 2003 Server using Terminal Services, then you would need to add two (2) Windows 2003 Terminal Services CALs (one per User or Device depending on which licensing model you choose) to enable those Users or Devices to access the server via Terminal Services:<\/p>\n So in reality, the only thing that changes from a network licensing perspective with Terminal Services vs. a regular Windows Server 2003 or SBS 2003 Server environment is the need to add a Windows 2003 Terminal Services CAL for each User or Device (depending on which licensing model you choose) that uses Terminal Services to access the server.<\/p>\n See? That isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t so bad, is it?<\/p>\n One thing to note, the above talks about the network licensing for Terminal Services. Terminal Services in no way changes Microsoft Office licensing. So, if you have additional PCs access the server via Terminal Services to run Office, you still need one license of Microsoft Office for every device that runs Office and Office is NOT licensed concurrently. Because of this, each device that accesses the Terminal Server to run Office needs its own unique Microsoft Office license and it cannot be an OEM Didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know that about OEM Office licenses?
