That'll explain why all my clients have been issued per-device licences
which, on checking, run out tomorrow!!!!<Aaaaarrrghhh!>
If I take off TS from my 2003 server, and reinstall it in per user mode,
will this work? (I have user licences in my licencsing server). Or am I
in deep doo-doo?

Hi Jesse,

Yes, you specify upfront. This is something that you select when
installing a Terminal Server. A single 2003 license server can handle
both types.

The "per user" type license is not managed at this time, so "no" it will
not prevent you from doing what you do.

Subject: [THIN] 2003 TS CAL per user

Hi Gang,


Moving from windows 2000, to 2003 and had a question about the TS CAL
per user.

1) Do you need to specify up front which you want when ordering? Device
or User? or is this selectable when installing the TS license server?
2) In our environment, we have a generic login for a specific business
area
- If we choose a per user, will this prevent the generic account to
login to multiple devices?

I am more and more concerned with 2003 licensing because a lot of users
login remotely through CSG, which eats up another device cal. And with
not allowing XP/2000 built in any more, that could be very very costly.
This is why I like the per user model, but I don't see how this would
work with the generic login. Just more of an excuse to move away from
generic logins - hate em.

I've been reading Ron and Brian's TS2003 - Just got done with the
license section. Good stuff...

Thanks.

Jess
