I have got the windows 2003 evalution cd. I want to test the terminal services of this new server. Does anyone know if the evaluation version comes with terminal server CALS? I would hate to have to purchase cals just to test terminal services in windows 2003 evalution.

Hi,

I think I'm correct in saying that you can use TS for 90
days without needing to have a license server present.

We currently have 2 Windows 2003 terminal servers and no
Windows 2003 license server. We have bought the CALS but
are waiting until the production servers arrive before we
setup a new license server.

Thanks for replying -- I am tring to setup clients who will use telnet to the go through this server to get to our mainframe. Accroding to our vendor for the mainframe it will work, however the instructions they gave me only sets up thier side of the equation. According to some info I found after I sent this email. The evavuation version will allow windows 2000 pc's to connect without a terminal server cal. Do you belive this is so

If you played your cards right, you could get 180 days of
license-free terminal services. Just setup your terminal
server in application mode. Terminal services will run
fine for 90 days before it _requires_ a license server on
your network. On day 89, setup a license server and
activate it, but don't install your TSCALs. Your license
server will then issue temporary TSCALs to all connecting
clients, and these temporary TSCALs are good for 90 days.

Based on the above information, you should be able to get
pretty close to 180 days of license free terminal services.
