5.6.1 RDP
5.6.1.1 RDP overview
Introduction
RDP, "Remote Desktop Protocol", is a protocol that the Industrial Thin Client uses to access a
server with a Windows operating system, e.g. Windows Server. The Industrial Thin Client can
access all programs running on the server, if the programs have been enabled for remote
access. The following statements also apply accordingly to Windows 7.
Licensing the Windows Server
You do not require any licenses on your device to access the server. You require the following
server licenses:
• One Windows Server license per server
• One Windows Server Client Access License (CAL) per user
• Additionally, one Terminal Server Client Access License (TS User CAL) per user that can be
used independent of the device
TS Device CAL cannot be used
In the case of the "TS Device CAL" license, which can be used on a certain device
independently of the user, the device is logged onto the license server using the last four
digits of the MAC address. When you replace the device, the license is blocked by
the
license server and released again after about 3 months.
User CAL and Device CAL licenses are supported for all approved Windows operating
systems.
Detailed information on licenses and applicable conditions of use are available on the
Internet under "Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server Licensing
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/termservlic.mspx)".
Licensing Windows 7
You do not require any licenses on your device under Windows 7 to access the server. Only
one license on the PC for your operating system, e.g. Windows 7.
You do not require any additional licenses on the server for Remote Desktop.
