Re: Which version for terminal services??
You don't need any extra CALs, only TS CALs.
From
Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2: Licensing FAQ

sing.mspx
Q. I want to have additional servers running Windows 2000 Server or
Windows Server 2003 on my SBS 2003 R2 domain. Do my users need CALs
to access those servers?
A. No. Your SBS 2003 R2 CALs allow your users to access any
additional servers running Windows Server software in the domain.
You do not need to buy additional CALs for file and print services,
or to access additional servers running Exchange Server 2003 or SQL
Server 2005 Workgroup Edition. However, you will need to purchase
Terminal Server CALs if you have a server running Terminal Services
in application mode on your network.
