I have a MSDN subscription Win 2003 Server with a terminal server installed.
When trying to connect to it, I am getting a message stating that a licensing
server cannot be found. I have no problem installing it, but part of the
installation procedure is activating the license server and purchasing CALs.
Do I really need to purchase CALs even if I have an active MSDN subscription?
 
Re: Terminal Server MSDN Licensing

From the MSDN Subscription FAQ
http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/faq/

"Do MSDN subscriptions include CALs for Terminal Services?
Yes. To install client access licenses (CALs), please follow these
instructions."

which links to:

Terminal Services Licensing Instructions for MSDN, Microsoft
Certified Partner, and MSCTEC Programs
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/aa948876.aspx

"Qualified members of the MSDN, Microsoft Certified Partner, and
MSCTEC programs may only use the Telephone connection method to
install client licenses. You will need to provide your customer
identification number (e.g., MSDN Subscriber ID, Microsoft
Certified Partner ID) for your program when installing licenses."
