LicensingMode

  • Article

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.

Note   This setting is ignored unless the Windows Feature AppServer (Terminal Services Application Server) is enabled in the Windows image.

Values
