Licensing and TSCALs

[PatG]

I have Server 2000 and Citrix MeatFrame 1.8 Do I need to
purchase TSCALs to use/access Published Citrix
Applications? If so, are 200 TSCALs transferable to 2003
when I upgrade in a few months?
Thanks
Pat

Yes you need TSCALs with 2000 TS unless all of your clients are 2000 or XP Pro. You can purchase 2003 Terminal Server CALs now and use them with 2000 or 2003, however 2000 TSCALs will only work with 2000 TS

Beware that Citrix MetaFrame 1.8 won't work with 2003 TS. If you plan on keeping CMF you'll need to upgrade to Citrix MetaFrame XP Presentation Server FR3 or wait for 3.0
