[rdesktop-users] licensing, cont'd

Response to David Guest:
First, I also have no idea how you install a Windows
license on Linux either, but that doesn't interest MS,
so long as you have purchased (!) the license.
Yes, each remote device does require a Windows XP
license and licenses for each application (such as MS
Office) which is going to be run on the host and
displayed on the RDP client. However, that's not the
issue. We are talking about CALs. The way I read it,
there is no requirement to purchase CALs if you are
not running Windows Terminal Server.

"A separate Windows XP license is required for each
RDP device connected to the Host computer running
Windows XP.
It is the responsibility of the WinConnect Server XP
purchaser/user to read and comply with the Windows XP
licensing agreement or contact Microsoft for
clarification regarding this licensing requirement."
