Windows Server Forum / Windows NT / Terminal Server / July 2006What kind of Product Id need to be choosen for accessing a W2K ser
Hello, I have W2K clients and Wk2 Server. I would like to get rid of my citrix servers. I have found the product Id R19-00848 WIN TERMINAL SVR CAL V2003 5MLP DEVICE CAL or R19-00846 WIN TERMINAL SVR CAL V2003 5MLP USER CAL which one (if any) is the one I need to have terminal server licences to access W2K server ? Many thanks for your help ! If your clients all run W2K Pro (or XP Pro), then you don't have to buy any TS CALs at all! These clients receive a free TS CAL from the TS Licensing Server. If your clients run W2K Home Edition (or any other down-level OS), you can buy either one of these licenses. Note that these are 2003 TS CALs (W2K TS CALs are not for sale eny more). You will be able to install them on your W2K TSLS by using your downgrade rights, and they will automatically be installed as Per Device TS CALs. From Windows Server 2003 Pricing and Licensing FAQ http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/howtobuy/licensing/pricl icfaq.mspx Q. Can I downgrade a TS CAL for use on a Windows 2000 terminal server? A. Yes. You may downgrade Windows Server 2003 TS CALs. However, both TS User and Device CALs will act as device-based CALs when accessing a Windows 2000 terminal server, as TS User CALs are not supported. So the important questions is: imagine that you want to upgrade to 2003 TS in the future, do you then want Per User or Per Device TS CAls? That's what should decide which ones to buy now. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net *----------- Please reply in newsgroup -------------* =?Utf-8?B?RnJhbsOnb2lz?= <Franois@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 20 jul 2006: > Hello, > I have W2K clients and Wk2 Server.

But remember that you *must* install and activate a TS Licensing Server (on your DC). When you start the TS Licensing Manager on it, you will see an entry called "Existing Windows 2000 Per Device TS CALs" - available: Unlimited. That's the pool of free licenses that will be issued to your clients, when they connect to your W2K Terminal Server. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ =?Utf-8?B?RnJhbsOnb2lz?= <Franois@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 20 jul 2006 in microsoft.public.windowsnt.terminalserver.client: > Ok do I understand well that I can access the same server with 5 > Wk200 ws with TS ithout buying licences ?
