rdp licenses

hi ,

i dont know if this question applies to this group if it does not , please
tell me which group i should be asking this question in

here is my current situation :

currently i have a (X) computer in newyork and (Y) computer in bombay ....

i am accessing my (Y) computer which runs windows XP from X computer using
RDC ( REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION )

here is my question

1. i want multiple users/computers to access this (Y) computer
2. i want to change the operating system from windows xp to windows server
2003
3. As far as i know windows server 2003 allows only 2 simultaneous
connections at one time


so my question is change i buy a operating system windows server 2003 and
then buy the licenses for multiple users/computers ?

OR

windows server 2003 comes with multiple user licenses

Hi,

Windows Server comes with 2 connections which purpose is for remote
administration. If you need more then these two connections then you have to
go to Add/Remove Programs > Windows Components and here install Terminal
Server and probably Terminal Server Licensing (depending on your
environemnt). Now you have 90 days to buy (you get 90 days of working TS for
all your users...) all appropriate licenses for your terminal server --
depending on how many users you intend to connect.
