Perhaps I've misunderstood the question?

Case #1: My understanding was that the remote Foxview using Internet
Explorer was connecting using TCP port 8080 and Internet Information
Services (IIS).(Web Server) This type of connection didn't need the
TS-Cal.

Case #2: When you connect with remote desktop connection (Formerly
Terminal Service Client on the NT system) you are do require TS-Cals for
each machine(per device) or each user (per-seat).

 This developed into a big discussion a few years ago from our IT dept
and we resulted in consulting our MS rep who (I was told) verified it to
be correct. Also we were told that you need a TS-Cal only if you are
accessing the server from a client machine which was a operating system
that was older than the server.
 When terminal services are enabled, you must also enable a license
server somewhere on the network. This license server is responsible to
grant to selected terminal servers the rights to distribute and collect
the license to the clients. Without a license server (service) you are
time limited to the operation of the terminal servers. Also, this allows
your TS-Cals to be distributed to multiple terminal servers from a
central management location.

Examples:
Windows NT terminal server meant all windows 98/95 and earlier machines
need a TS-Cal. Windows NT and newer do not. This was explained as you
are licensed for the client machine with the license that is installed
on the client and it allows access to the server without additional
licenses.

It stands to reason that the new P91's (server 2003) are part of the XP
generation and with it as long as your Windows XP or newer, you don't
need any additional TS-Cals when using remote desktop.=20

Since this is a Microsoft license issue has any found any Microsoft
documentation that clarifies and/or supports this?=20
