[K12OSN] Terminal Services Licenses for rdesktop

[Olivier Mugnier]

Knowing a bit of TSE technology on windows... you need one license for each connection
I mean... 1 license <=> 1 thin client (the same or different during time)

You can open a non-local session for each license you have....

Not knowing LSTP yet but I think that if you want RDP service on win,
you need as much license as you have thin client connected at same time
(1 client is already include in windows pro, 2 in server editions)
(RDP don't allow you to boot but linux have RDP client)
Not sure of the difference between RDP and TSE....

  I think this was discussed before, but ... are TSCALs per device that is connecting or per user?  I thought there was a possibility that if it was per device, then from the Windows Terminal Server's perspective only one device is connecting (all connections originate from the Linux terminal server), but with multiple sessions?  Anyhow, not sure I would want to test this logic in court.  

  Otherwise, I second taking a shot at using wine to run the app first before investing in the TSCALs.  $138 Canadian?  And I complained about $42 US.

  Sincerely,
  Dave Hopkins
