[THIN] Re: Tracking 2003 CAL's

User CALs are not enforced.

Device CALs are enforced.

Make sure all of your Terminal Servers are configured with Per User TS
Licensing and there won't be a problem (run *tscc.msc*). However, you still
have to ensure that you own a TSCAL for every named user that connects to
Terminal Server.
