Re: TS 2008 User & Device CAL's
Well, yes, it becomes more complicated with more users, clients and
licenses.
Since you have only a single device cal, I assume that you have one
dedicated client which is available to everyone, and all regular
users have their own user cal. That's perfectly manageable.
But mostly when this question is asked, people have bought first 50
device and then 50 user licenses. That makes a mess.
