1) A terminal server can be installed in 2 modes:
Mode1 => remote admin => any client can connect to the TS, you don't
have to worry about licensing,... BUT only 2 sessions can be active at the
same time
Mode2 => application mode => you do have to worry about licensing
server, TScals,... BUT any number of sessions can be active
you can see the mode you are in by going to the TS configuration menu
