I hope one of you has the answer, I've been searching the net, and can't seem to find a definant answer.
We're setting up terminal services at my work - mainly for product demos to demonstrate that our product works over TS (we're a software company). From what I've read, we're gonna need to buy TS client licenses, which is fine. However how do these licenses work? From what I've read, when a computer logs on to TS, it's issued one of our licenses....but then that license is permenantly given to the computer who logged in and it non transferable. Is this true?
I mean, what about people who do outside work for another company for like a week and are issued a license? Does that mean the company has to get a new TS client license every time it outsources work?
Any help is appreciated. We're gonna use windows 2000 server (and I do know about the XP and 2000 PRO license user clause), but our market is probably demonstrating to people who are going to migrate to Windows TS, and probably have a good number of 98 or NT users still (which we need licenses for).
