I have a question with respect to Vista based machines connecting to a
Windows 2000 Terminal Server -- specifically with regards to TS-CAL's.

 

I am aware that with Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP
Professional clients connecting to a Windows 2000 Terminal Server, you
are not required to purchase an additional TS-CAL -- these OS's were
authorized to receive a free TS-CAL by the 2000 Server (XP Home, Tablet,
and MCE still required a seperate TS-CAL).

 

With Vista, are you required to purchase a separate TS-CAL when
connecting to a 2000 TS or is one provided for free?   If so, which
editions of Vista allow for the free issuance of the TS-CAL?
