Remote Desktop Services 2008 5 Client Device License
Terminal Server provides clients access to Windowsbased applications running entirely on the server and supports multiple client sessions on the server.
A Terminal Services license server is a computer on which the TS Licensing role service is installed. A license server stores all TS CALs that have been installed for a group of terminal servers and tracks the TS CALs that have been issued. One license server can serve many terminal servers simultaneously. To issue permanent TS CALs to client devices, a terminal server must be able to connect to an activated license server. A license server that has been installed but not activated will only issue temporary TS CALs.
TS Licensing is a separate entity from the terminal server. In most large deployments, the license server is deployed on a separate server, even though it can be a co-resident on the terminal server in some smaller deployments.
TS Licensing is a low-impact service. It requires very little CPU or memory for regular operations, and its hard disk requirements are small, even for a significant number of clients. Idle activities are negligible. Memory usage is less than 10 megabytes (MB). The license database grows in increments of 5 MB for every 6,000 TS CALs issued. The license server is only active when a terminal server is requesting a TS CAL, and its impact on server performance is very low, even in high-load scenarios.
TS Licensing includes the following features and benefits:
Centralized administration for TS CALs
License tracking and reporting for TS Per User CALs
Simple support for various communication channels and purchase programs
Minimal impact on network and servers
For Windows Server 2008, Terminal Services includes new core functionality that enhances the end-user experience when connecting remotely to a Windows Server 2008 terminal server. This new core functionality includes:
Remote Desktop Connection 6.1
Remote Desktop Connection Display improvements, including:
Custom display resolutions
Monitor spanning
Desktop Experience
Font smoothing
Display data prioritization
Plug and Play Device Redirection for Media Players and Digital Cameras
Microsoft Point of Service for .NET Device Redirection
Single Sign-On for Terminal Services
The new core functionality in Terminal Services will be of interest to organizations that currently use or are interested in using Terminal Services. Terminal Services provides technologies that enable access, from almost any computing device, to a server running Windows-based programs or the full Windows desktop. Users can connect to a terminal server to run programs and use network resources on that server.
For Windows Server 2008, you might be interested in the new core functionality in Terminal Services if you use any of the following hardware:
Monitors that support higher resolutions, such as 1680 x 1050 or 1920 x 1200
Multiple monitors
Windows Portable Devices
Microsoft Point of Service for .NET devices
You also might be interested in the new core functionality in Terminal Services if you want to support any of the following scenarios:
Have users connect to a terminal server and have the remote computer look and feel more like the user's local Windows Vistaฎ desktop experience.
Ensure that display, keyboard, and mouse data passed over a remote connection is not adversely affected by bandwidth intensive actions, such as large print jobs.
Allow users with a domain account to log on once, using a password or smart card, and then gain access to a terminal server without being asked for their credentials again.
System Requirements
Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 provides new options for application deployment, more efficient access to data over low bandwidth, reuse of older hardware, remote access, and other tasks. Please note, Terminal Server CALs are NOT compatible with Microsoft Small Business Server.
Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 requires Windows Server Standard or Enterprise.
Windows Server 2008 Terminal Server requires that you install a license server before the terminal server can function. A license server is a computer on which Terminal Server Licensing is installed.
