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. |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) i have a friend who runs a small law-firm and every time something goes wrong, he calls me in. their system is a complete mess and all my suggestions are denied because he's a cheap bastard. but, he pays big bucks every time i spent time there, paying me, to fix the stuff they screwed up. don't get his logic, he could have spent the money i have cost him in the last 3 years to buy a state-of-the-art computer system for his office.
