correct license for TS/RDP?

[KK20]

Im costing TS/RDP which will be for tablets/devices connecting to our network. Hardware aside im now looking at licenses. We have EES currently. The tablets/devices will be issued to the students with a number of extras in a pool as spares. How will this work with EES? Is the "per user" calulated on our FTE EES burden or on TS users? (since we will have extra devices "per user" seems more logical). There WILL be external access by the users (only users on our network) so im not sure if we need another external connector (I dont intend using our TS server as our existing web services server that has an external connector).

 

On this thread here http://www.edugeek.net/forums/thin-client-virtual-machines/124216-terminal-server-rdp-server.html there was mention of 6VC-01518 WinRmtDsktpSrvcsCAL ALNG LicSAPk OLV E 1Y Acdmc Ent UsrCAL £3.06 each

 

Is this suitable?

 

Thank you

The Terminal services licensing server isn't going to know anything about your FTE staff - so licensing per user means you have to license for each user account.

We license per device and have a pool of 800 devices. The licenses worked out cheaper buying perpetually as they cost £11 each, paying by EES @£3.06 means they will only last 3yrs and we plan for a 5-6yr lifetime.
