I was afraid of something like that, but I wasn't sure. The book I saw said
they cant be "employees" of your company. And as it is, we can easily
control WHO gets a username but not easily control What device they use
since they are all remote locations. Aside from the 10 or so people in our
company who are here at the office, everyone else is just coming in from the
internet.

I could be wrong, but...
As I understand it, external licenses can only be used if you don't know who
is connecting, like if you provided a Terminal Server with Demo software
through a website where users can run the software anonimously.
As I don't think you're in that situation, I don't think you can use ECL
licenses.

Question for the group.
I have been reading up on licenses and wondering if the External Connecter
Licenses would be a good idea for us. We are an ASP, and it is very
difficult for us to keep up with how many devices our customers connect to
our system. Till now We have been on NT4 o we have kept up best we could
but not worried too much about it. And we havent restricted how many users
each location that subscribes to our services uses. That means we have
about 2800 usernames in use right now with about 350 concurrent at peak
times. Based off that I was thinking that ECL might be the way to go for
us. I understand that they ECL cannot be given to employees of our company,
but any idea if they would work with our setup?
I am trying to get all this straight so I can have a full implementation
plan for Windows 2003 ready to go when asked.
