4.3. Terminal Services Licensing
As mentioned earlier, one of the most important managerial processes in a complex network is making sure you have the right number of licenses—distributed in the right way, at the right time—in your Windows Server 2008 infrastructure. When using Terminal Services, users are required to have Terminal Services client access licenses (TS CALs). Client access licenses are licenses designated to a specific server that enable the authorization of applications through Terminal Services. By default, client access licenses are available free of charge for 120 days. This means that when first installing Terminal Services, you will not have to authorize every single account.
