Let's hope so.  Treating the SBC model like Client/Server in terms of =
licensing doesn't work very well.  A company should not have to pay for =
multiple licenses in order for 1 employee to do his/her job.  One =
license for the Desktop, One for home, one for the iPaq, one for the PC =
up at Weekend Cabin, and don't forget the airport kiosks, the demos at =
the customer's site.

There is some talk of some of this changing for Microsoft products.  We
shall see.  However, even if Microsoft changes a lot of its desktop =
products
to per user, that really doesn't help us with the other 3rd party =
products
that are licensed per device.

Here's some info on licensing obtained from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/server/howtobuy/pricing/default.asp


***** From MS:

Terminal Services is licensed on a per-device basis and is not available
on a per-server or concurrent basis with the exception of the Terminal
Services Internet Connector License explained below. Each device,
whether it connects directly to the terminal server, or indirectly via
another server, requires the appropriate licenses to be assigned to it.
=3D20
Terminal Services Internet Connector Licensing
The Terminal Services Internet Connector license allows a terminal
server to serve up to 200 concurrent connections. This replaces the need
for a Terminal Services CAL and Windows 2000 Server CAL to be assigned
to a specific device. Terminal Services Internet Connector licensing may
only be used for anonymous connections from non-employees. The Terminal
Services Internet Connector license is currently available under the
Microsoft Open, Select, and Enterprise Agreement volume licensing
programs. A Windows 2000 Internet Connector license is not required for
a Windows 2000 server using the Windows 2000 Terminal Services Internet
Connector license.



***** From MS on Office in TS:

Microsoft licenses its desktop application products on a per-computer
basis. Per-computer licensing means a valid license must be obtained for
each "device" (please see the device definition later in this document)
that "runs" (please see the run definition later in this document) the
product. The product may not be shared or used concurrently by different
devices. Therefore, in a terminal server environment, you must acquire a
license for all devices that will be running a Microsoft software
application product (for example, Office) from the terminal server.
=3D20
The term device encompasses client hardware devices, computers,
workstations, terminals, or other digital electronic or analog devices
that enable an end user to run Microsoft software.

To "run," or "running," an application means using, accessing,
displaying, running, or installing the product, regardless of the medium
of access to the product.

You are correct...  I do remember it being much different tho. I =3D3D
suppose, with Microsoft, if you think worse possible case that will be =
=3D
=3D3D
the answer.  When times are tuff, stick it to the customer.  Dig that =

At this time, you need a license for each device the software is =3D3D
displayed
on.  You will find this is the case for most software not just Microsoft
products.  What you have to think of is, if terminal server were not
available, you would have had to install the software separately on all
=3D3D
of
those systems.

Remember, Office is RUN on the Metaframe server, not at Grandma's house.
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
 You'll need an Office License for each user that has access to that =3D

Subject: [THIN] I would love to deploy CSG, but.....



I would love to deploy CSG in my environment to provide access to my
Microsoft Office applications, among others, but CSG's feature of access
"anytime, anywhere, anyplace" seems to conflict with Microsoft's =3D3D3D
Licensing
Requirements for Office applications.

If I am reading it correctly, the EULA for Office states ".....you must
acquire and dedicate a license for each separate COMPUTER on which the
SOFTWARE PRODUCT is RUN ...."
If I deploy CSG how can I be sure to remain in compliance with my Office
licenses if Joe User can access Office apps from home, the library,
Grandma's house, etc.

Can anyone please shed some light as to how they have dealt with the =3D
=3D3D3D
issue
of deploying access to Microsoft Office apps via Metaframe and what they
have done as it relates to staying compliant with the Per Computer =
=3D3D3D
aspect of
Microsoft's Licensing?  Thanks!

P.S.  Man, I hate licensing!
