LicensingMode
LicensingMode configures how Terminal Services manages Client Access Licenses (CALs). Two types of Terminal Server Client Access Licenses are available: TS Device CAL or TS User CAL:
- A Terminal Services Device CAL permits one device (used by any user) to conduct Windows Sessions on any of your servers.
- A Terminal Services User CAL permits one user (by using any device) to conduct Windows Sessions on any of your servers.
For more information about Terminal Services Licensing modes, see your Windows Server® 2008 documentation.
