No MS says Per User will be tracked but not enforced.  Per Device is both
tracked and enforced.  Just a clarification.

Per-device CAL tracking has always been tracked.

Most people are picking per-user. :)

Regardless, you still MUST have an ACTIVATED 2003 Terminal Services
Licensing server running, regardless of what type of CALs you use.

 Hi there everyone, I am installing my first W2k3 Terminal server.  I have
read that I need a w2k3 terminal server licensing server.  However I am told
(by a reseller) that the licensing scheme works on the "honor" system.
Everything that I have read tells me that this isn't true.  Can anyone
confirm or deny this?

thanks very much.

Jonathan
