[THIN] Re: per device or per user 2003 licensing.

MS told me to contact my vendor to change to licensing to 'per user" .
Is this correct?

I don't see it ever happening in Windows 2003.  The logistics are just
too great and it would kill their user base that they are trying to
grow. It would not be a gainful move on their part to do so. They are
pushing collaborative computing from any device.  People won't buy into
that if they have to purchase a license for every phone, laptop,
refrigerator or whatever they own in order to connect.

        Yet. :) Eventually MS will turn this on, and organizations who
are
        taking advantage of the per-user licensing "hole" may find
themselves on
        the wrong end of the MS pricing schedule when per-user licensing
is
        enforced.
