Microsoft faces new licensing row | |
|
||
| Time: 11:37 EST/16:37 GMT | News Source: VNUNet | Posted By: Bill Roach | ||

Some of Microsoft's biggest customers face extra costs because of licensing changes introduced with Windows Server 2003. Organisations using Microsoft Terminal Server software to access central applications will be affected by the changes. Windows 2000 users were able to connect to Terminal Server for free. But with the newly launched Windows Server 2003, customers will have to buy a Terminal Server Client Access Licence for every user device whether it is a PC or a thin client. | ||

This should not be a surprise to anyone. Remember when you could
download Outlook for free? An upgrade is now $100. Nothing is free. |

That is not true.
In Windows2000 you had a trial period TS CAL, the same goes for Win2003. |

#2, actually Enterprise Agreement customers were automatically granted TS CALs for all users registered under the program.
#3 exactly, as long as companies are reporting for current usage it shouldn't matter. One of the clients I have right now has 13,000 users covered by their agreement; given that the majority of those users will not access a Windows or Citrix terminal server in the immediate future it leaves them a lot of room to grow. I believe this would hold true for the majority of Licensing 6.0 EA participants. This post was edited by astorrs on Thursday, May 08, 2003 at 12:54. |
