12/28/2022 0 Comments Microsoft terminal server 2008![]() ![]() When Windows 2000 Server arrived, Microsoft began enforcing Terminal Services licensing by requiring CALs for every client that was connecting from a system that pre-dated Windows 2000. However, for those running Windows 2000 or later, they were considered to have equal or greater functionality in the native client OS, so no further purchase was necessary. The CAL allocation and tracking process has evolved over the years as Microsoft has matured the product. Originally, with Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition, Terminal Server CALs were never tracked and licensing enforcement was purely on the honor system. In part one, I discussed some changes to the installation process, licensing database and discovery process. In this part, I’ll cover some interesting changes in per-user licensing, CAL reporting, revocation and improvements in the management interface. This is the second part of a two-part article series on the changes to terminal server licensing in Windows Server 2008.
