This simplifies the license installation process, since you can simply
update the licenses on your TS Licensing server and that will automatically be available
to your terminal server farm.
Terminal Services Licensing is an efficient and lightweight service. In fact, even at
high utilization, it doesn??™t take up much memory or CPU utilization because the service
is active only when the terminal server requests a token; otherwise, it is mostly idle. It
uses minimal memory, typically no more than 10MB, and the database grows only 5MB
for every 6000 tokens issued.
NOTE If you already have an existing terminal server farm, terminal servers running Windows Server
2008 cannot communicate with Windows Server 2003 TS Licensing servers. You must upgrade your
TS Licensing servers first to Windows Server 2008 since a Windows Server 2008 TS Licensing server
can communicate with existing Windows Server 2003 terminal servers.
License Types
When you install Terminal Services on Windows Server 2008, you are prompted to indicate
the license mode to use. You can choose Per Device license mode or Per User
license mode. Per Device license mode is used if you want your licensing to be based on
the number of devices connecting. Each new client device that connects will be issued a
client license token. In a Per User license mode, client access licenses (CALs) are issued
on a per-user basis rather than a per-device.
