Looking to upgrade one of our offices. It has 30 PCs that are about 5 years old.
Everybody runs the same crap. Microsoft office Adobe Acrobat Internet Explorer Terminal Emulaton programs Anti-virus software. Looking at thin-clients as a replacement solution (less IT management of each PC). How does software licensing work? I know you have to have the terminal server with enough client access licenses for each machine? What if I wanted to run Microsoft Office? How does licensing work? Do you buy one license (since you only really running one copy?), or do you have to have some sort of user license of each terminal running it? Same question for other applications. Anybody with any real world experience? Thanks. |

We only run "thin clients" for our accounting databases (JDE and Highland lakes) or for IT stuff like terminal emulation at the company that I am technical lead for IT operations. You might want to look a Small Biz edition server software from Microsoft, they bundle multipul products to run on the same box. Some people love it, other really hate it. I still have just enuff budget for one server=one ap!
As for the licencing, check out this link: cdw software they have some really good info on how this stuff works. I find it really more confusing than nessisary! I hope that kind of helps... |
