adding new users

[Ray]

Good Day,

We're running terminal server with 1o users. Currently we have 10 user CALS.
We purchased more licenses but they're not in yet. can I add 10 more users
temporarily until the CALS come in? Can all 20 users be connected at the same
time?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. They will get a 90 day temp license.

If this is 2003 or less then you will be OK because User licenses are
not tracked, but you should still have the appropriate amount of
licenses to stay legal.

Assuming that the TS is running Windows 2003 and is configured in
the Per User licensing mode, the users will not even get (nor need)
a temporary license.
Temporary Per User licenses don't exist, only temporary Per Device
licenses.
