Hi, There,
It told there is one license option is unlimited license for Windows
Terminal server, Just a bit like the Per process license.

Can anyone give some update on this!

Many thanks in advanced!

If with "unlimited" you mean that you buy one license for the
server and can then connect with an unlimited amount of users /
devices, then you have received incorrect information. There is no
such licensing option, you must buy a TS CAL for every user or
client who connects to your Terminal Server.

If with "unlimited" you mean a license which is valid for an
unlimited time, that's not possible either. All licenses have an
expiration date of 52-89 days after being issued to a client. But
that shouldn't worry you if the client is still active when its
license expires, it will automatically renew its license. The
expiration date is just a mechanism to make sure that you can't
loose any licenses when you discard a client device.

Hi, Noest,
Thanks for the information provided, I think I got wrong information from
reseller.
Ok, if this unlimited license is not avilad, how can I do for the following
scenario:

1. First time I purchase 100 CAL, and action on the license server.
2. Late on when we need more, then we puirchase another 100 CAL. Is that
possible to apply the license on the same license server?

Thanks Again!

No problem. You can always buy more licenses and install them on
your TS Licensing Server. There is no limit on how much licenses
you can install on a single license server.
