The MLP for TSCALs in Win2K also includes a license code, a 25-character alphanumeric code that indicates what the license is for and how many TSCALs it purchases (so that you can't fudge the entries and say that you bought 20 TSCALs when you really only bought 5). Physically, an MLP is a thin cardboard envelope that contains the end-user license agreement (EULA) denoting the number of CALs purchased. Most people who buy small volumes of Microsoft products will buy their TSCALs as part of a 5-CAL or 20-CAL Microsoft License Pak (MLP). The way that you buy TSCALs determines how you pay for them and how much flexibility you have in the purchase. (For those not mathematically minded, that comes to just under $150/head retail, which is about what TSE TSCALs cost.) TSCALs are sold for the retail trade in 5-packs and 20-packs a 5-pack costs $749 retail and an upgrade from a TSE 5-pack costs $349. To access a Win2K server at all, of course, a client also needs a 2000 Client Access License (2000 CAL). ![]() Anyone in a company who's using the terminal server must have a TSCAL, regardless of whether they're connecting to the terminal server via Microsoft's RDP display protocol or Citrix's ICA display protocol (which they would if you'd installed MetaFrame for Windows 2000). ![]() Terminal Server Client Access Licenses (TSCALs) are for named user accounts in the domain and issued on a per-seat basis.
