W2003 Terminal Server

Hi,
I have installed a Windows 2003 Server that I want to use as an terminal
server. Now Microsoft tells me that I have to buy additional licenses for
the 2003 server (CAL & TS licenses) although SBS2000 has built in licenses.
Anyone an idea how I can resolve this because my client does not want to pay
additional 2000 euro for a few home workers.
Thanks,
Hugo

If you have the Win2K server media available (or can buy it from MS
Worldwide Fullfillement), I believe you can invoke the downgrade rights from
Win2K3 to Win2K server and use TS 2000. SBS 2000 CALs covers access to a
Win2K3 or Win2K servers in the same SBS 2000 domain so you wouldn't have to
buy additional Windows CALs anyway. If you set up a TS 2000 box, as long as
the remote clients are Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP Pro (not Windows XP
Home Edition), they should get a "free" TS CAL fromm the TS 2000 pool
without having to buy additional TS CALs.

Merv is correct, you will have to downgrade your TS 2003 server to TS 2000
to have the TS CAL included with Windows Prof 2000 & XP. The Windows CAL
for TS 2000 is included in your SBS 2000 CAL. Otherwise, you will need to
purchase TS 2003 User or Device CAL's which are fairly priced IMHO.
