I can confirm that, except its $35 not $30. It looks to be $35 each end
whether they're a host or guest. And if the same machine needs to be both
it's still $35. Bulk licenses only kick in at 100 seats.

Radmin. I could log onto several servers, a production workstation from my
desktop at the office, and log on to all of the above from home.

licensing, so I'm not really up to speed on the ins and outs of their
licensing policy.
