Hi all,

Currently, I have one windows 2003 TS with several applicationes installed.
We puechased Windows 2003 TS CAL. Can we just upgrade Windows 2003 TS to
Windows 2008? What about CALs? Do I need to purchase Windows 2008 TS CALs?

thank you.
 
Re: Windows 2008 TS

RE: Windows 2008 TS

Check to see if you have Software Assurance. If it was current the day that
2008 was RTM, then you can upgrade withouth purchasing new licenses. If it
expired before 2008 shipped, or you didn't purchase SA, then you'll need to
purchase new CALs and TSCALs as Jeff said.

As far as I know there is no upgrade path from 2003 TS to 2008 TS, because
of the differences in the user profiles and registry, i.e. you'd need to do a
clean install, or uninstall/reinstall your applications. I'd NEVER recommend
an in place OS upgrade for a client OS or Windows Terminal Services.
