Correct. Licensing is either, depending on product and your own choices, per
user or per processor - and that does not just apply to TS, it applies to
Windows server as well. You need to be looking at this;

So as an ASP we shouldn't be using per device licensing for our Citrix / TS
boxes?

I may be missing something here, but if the client is connecting to their own
Terminal Server, they've already (in theory) obtained a TS CAL.
Ask Microsoft. Then ask again and see if the answer is the same.

Multiplexing connections is a tricky issue... The best answer is to ask
Microsoft but I would say that as a service provider, you will need a license
for each device (not TS but the actual client device) or user that connects to
your. Using hardware or software to multiplex connections in order to save on
licensing is typically a no-no. Just like SQL licenses, if your Presentation
Server uses a SQL server then every device or seat that connects to PS also
requires a SQL license. The alternative is to license SQL per processor. TS
has a similar type license.

Quick question
I have a client who wants to put the Citrix client on their Terminal server and
serve out the client via terminal server sessions to allow access to our citrix
servers.
If they do so, does Each terminal server session they open and then connect to
our citrix box consume a separate TSCAL from our system?
Or is only one taken by the terminal server box no matter how many sessions are
launched.
Basically they will be nesting the citrix session to Our farm inside a terminal
server session from their TS box
