Q. Do Windows XP and Windows 2000 Professional have built-in Terminal
Services CALs?
A. No, Microsoft desktop operating systems (including Windows XP and
Windows 2000 Professional) do not have a "built-in" Terminal Services
CAL.
For Windows 2000 Terminal Servers, the license server issues machines
running Windows 2000/Windows XP Professional with a "free" Terminal
Services CAL from its built-in pool (and its use is permitted under
the Windows 2000 Server EULA). Windows XP Professional is a successor
to Windows 2000 Professional, and as a result does not need a Terminal
Services CAL to access a Windows 2000 Server running Terminal
Services. However, Windows XP Home Edition is not a successor to
Windows 2000 Professional (rather, it is a successor to Windows
Millennium Edition) and therefore does require a Terminal Services CAL
in order to access Windows 2000 Terminal Services.
For Windows Server 2003 Terminal Servers, all clients need installed
CALs assigned to them in order for them to connect to Windows Server
Terminal Servers. (There is no "built-in" pool.) Owners of Windows XP
Professional desktop licenses are eligible for free TS CALs, however.
For more information, see Terminal Server Licensing Transition Plan.

So basically if you've got a Win2k server, and Win2k or Win XP Pro
clients, the clients use their own 'built in' CAL.
I am using 2k terminal servers, and I have 107 Cals...and on a daily basis anywhere from 40-60 people are connecting through TS. But when I look in ts licensing, it only shows that 20 regular cals are being used, and 4 temporary cals...I found this rather strange, has anyone had this problem before?
Thanks
