Thanks Neal. So, just to clarify, if we have TS running in Application server mode on a W2000 server, and clients coming on are all W2K Pro, then we need no other licenses (except for app'n software of course)? I started to look this up on the MS website but when I came across a White Paper on TS licensing I folded. I just want simple answers not a bloody disseration. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk --------- Original Message -------- From: Access Developers discussion and problem solving <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Subject: RE: [AccessD] Access & Terminal Services Date: 23/03/05 15:29 > > When you install W2000 server you have a choice as to whether you want Terminal Services to be in Application mode or Remote Administration mode. In Remote Administration mode you are limited to two concurrent users and it is licensed for two clients. In application mode you have (I believe) unlimited concurrent log ons, but each client must have it's own license. Win2K and XP come with a terminal services license; prior OSs do not and you have to pay. > > W2003 server comes with Remote Administration mode by default.
