I am presently planning a new Win2k8 R2 DC/TS/AD/DNS server install.

I know the TS/RDS CALs have a "grace period" which allows me time to
obtain however many additional CALs we need.

Does a similar "grace period" exist for the Server CALs per se??

If I don't have enough Server CALs (device) at the time of setting up
the server and people's computers connecting to it via Terminal
Services/Citrix, what will happen??

I haven't found anything searching the Internet...

Thank you, Tom

Hello tom12010,

See here about the grace periods depending on the OS version in use:

Thank you, the link talks about *TS* cals grace period, that is not
what I am asking about.

I'm asking about the *Server* CALs," not TS and not RDS...

Thank you, Tom

Hello tom12010,

Sorry, misunderstand the question. For servers you have if i remember correct
30 days for activation, that's it.

Best regards

If you are asking about the Server license, then there a mulitple periods of
'grace' starting with the first 30 days. I think the maximum is 180 for 2008
and R2.

User / Device CALs are access requirements. Not really any "legal" grace
period that I'm aware, but then not enforced by technology for general
server products. Buy the CAls you need as soon as you know you need them or
before.
