Re: TS licensing question
Are the remote desktop cals able to be bought as user CALS or device CALS as was with the 2003 CALS?

RE: TS licensing question
I didn't see it mentioned, but don't forget you'll need to run a 2008 TS Licensing server to hand out 2008 CALs-they won't install on 2003.

Re: TS licensing question
Probably user CALs, unless there's some compelling reason otherwise. I anticipate the largest set of users will be people who are using our Sonciwall SSL VPN remotely.

Re: TS licensing question
Good to know. Can the licensing server be the TS machine itself?

Mine is.

TS licensing question
All, We're currently a Win2k3 R2 shop, and I need to retire a Win2k TS server. I've gotten a quote for a new Win2k8 OS and client licenses. The specific MSFT part numbers quoted are: MBL-P73-04982 - OS Win2k8 R2 MBL-R18-02709 - User CAL MBL-6VC-01164 - Remote Desktop Services CAL These are all under Open License. I'd just like to verify that these part numbers are what I need, and all I need, to make this happen. Does this square with your experience? Further info: I'm likely to virtualize this setup on our ESX server, if that makes a difference. Thanks, Kurt ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
Re: TS licensing question
#1 - Those part numbers are specific to the reseller you're talking to. Strip off the MBL- and you will get Microsoft's SKUs. #2 - I would find a way to work the user CALs for Server 08 R2 into your overall CAL scheme. My experience is that terminal servers work fine in ESX. Kurt Buff wrote: All, We're currently a Win2k3 R2 shop, and I need to retire a Win2k TS server.
