Hi all

If I have a server used for terminal services login and a separate server
running sql server. As well as the ts licences do I need windows cals for
both servers of just 1 licence for each user?

Many thanks

Glenn

For terminal services, you'll need a terminal services user or device CAL for
each user or device connecting to the server. You will also need a Windows
CAL for each user connecting to the TS.

For SQL Server, you will need a SQL CAL for each user or device connecting
to the SQL Server. A processor licence might be appropriate if you have over
a certain number of connections (see links) or running SQL Server as a
backend database for your website - i.e. you might not know how many
connections you will have.

See the links below for a 'clearer' picture from Microsoft.

Unfortunately, you cannot get away with just having 1 licence per server!!!
