You need a server CAL and a TS CAL for every client that connects to
your Terminal Server.
So if you have 18 clients connecting, you must have 18 server CALs
(buy 8 more).

If your clients all run Windows 2000 Pro or XP Pro, they will get a
free TS CAL from the TS Licensing Server (that you will have to
install and activate - this is free). So in that case, you do *not*
have to buy any TS CALs.
But if your clients run any other OS (like W2K / XP Home Edition, NT,
W98), then you must buy a TS CAL for each client and install it on
the LS.
