Question : what are the rules in windows 7 with CAL's with terminal server connections?

HI, I was wondering what the rules with CAL's and windows 7.  I know xp home can connect to terminal servers for 90 days, xp pro forever, and past that I'm kinda  a bit lost.  I have a client that could connect his 7 biz system for a few days (Monday through Tuesday of the next week), then he got the lic protocol error.

Also, is there a way to regedit out the time thing like xp.  I only ask this when I need to administer terminal servers, but don't want to take a cal since I may be on different computers each time.

Thanks guys.

[I know xp home can connect to terminal servers for 90 days, xp pro forever,] <-- This only applies to Windows 2000 TS. From 2003 and beyond, you need a separate CAL for each XP Pro client as well, since they changed the licensing policies from 2003.

Afaic, you need a separate TSCAL no matter which OS you run on the client as long as you run a 2003 TS or newer.

Beware that with Windows server 2008 R2, the licensing policies once again have been renewed, and the TSCAL's have also been renamed.
