[K12OSN] Windoze Terminal Server and K12LTSP

[Jim Hays]

David:

You will need:

1)  A MS OS license for each terminal (even though you won't use MS OS 
on the clients.)
2)  A MS CAL for each terminal (~$7 each)
3)  A MS Terminal CAL for each terminal (~$40 each)


For example, if you have 50 K12LTSP terminals that will access the MS 
Terminal Server (not necessarily concurrently), you will need 50 CALS, 
50 TS CALS, and 50 MS OS licenses plus 50 licenses for any application 
(Offiice?). 

Using K12LTSP for clients will not save you any software money at all.  
It may save you some hardware $$

It is exactly this kind of licensing **crap** that is driving us to 
K12LTSP.........
