It is my understanding that Windows XP has a license for
Terminal Server included with the OS. Does it also have a
license included to access Server 2003? Do I need a CAL?
Where is the DOC that tells me these things?

Thanks

Thanks for providing the Terminal Server info locations.

Now, does Windows XP Professional include a Windows 2003
Server CAL? Is there info on that?

Thanks

Windows XP might include a TS Cal for W2k3 if it
was purchased before the release date of W2k3.
After that, XP is not grandfathered. With the release
of W2k3 the TS Cals became separated from OS
licenses moving forward into future.
 
Yes, and I was wondering if the same thing happens to
server access. Does w2k3 require a server access CAL for
Windows XP Professional. I know it does for Windows 2000
Professional.
