Hello Engineer:

Recenlty My Company Plan use the Terminal server to
Provide 18 User to Login.
If my Windows 2000 server have 10 "Per server" license
already! and now may i still need buy 8 license for
Windows 2000 and 18 License for Terminal service Lincense
or just buy the Terminal Service Lincense?

Thank you
 
You need a server CAL and a TS CAL for every client that connects to
your Terminal Server.
So if you have 18 clients connecting, you must have 18 server CALs
(buy 8 more).

If your clients all run Windows 2000 Pro or XP Pro, they will get a
free TS CAL from the TS Licensing Server (that you will have to
install and activate - this is free). So in that case, you do *not*
have to buy any TS CALs.
But if your clients run any other OS (like W2K / XP Home Edition, NT,
W98), then you must buy a TS CAL for each client and install it on
the LS.
