[THIN] Re: TS Licensing - Again!

How many TS CAL's have you purchased and installed on the license server? 
Licensing is always a fun topic but now I'm confused. I didn't think there was 
a freebie TS CAL but a freebie Windows CAL. In other words, a 2000 client can 
connect to a 2000 server, no problem, that's a freebie. However, connecting to 
a Terminal Server is another license needed. Someone correct me if wrong. 
Therefore, you not only need the Citrix licenses, which you apparently have but 
also a Windows license (unless 2K client) AND a TS license. Feel free to jump 
in, anyone.
