CAL's
in [Windows Servers]
|
From: Clayton on 23 Mar 2010 13:14 I am currently running Windows 2003 Server SP2 as file sharing only. The staff mainly uses the remote desktop when out of the office, I understand that there is a maximum of 2 concurrent connections. My Question is can I use my 5 cal's that came with Windows server 2003 for remote desktop connections to increase it to 7? or do I have to purchase additional cal's? Thanks

The user/device CALs just allow normal server connections. Multiple user connections should use a Terminal Server configuration (requires seperate licenses still). -- /kj

From: Bill Grant on 23 Mar 2010 21:59 Basically yes. The two remote sessions are made available for remote admin of the server, not for use by remote desktop clients. To run your machine as a terminal server you need to enable terminal services and buy TS CALs. TS CALs are quite different from normal client CALs. Client CALs allow local LAN clients to access your server.
