I've set up a windows 2 terminal server, with originally 10 cals. A licencing server is not yet installed since the 90 day grace period is still running. There are 6 ts clients (w95, 2xw98, wxp home, 2x w2k) and one nt4 server. Up to now only 5 clients could connect then the cals were used up, the licencing manager indicates that 13! licences were used up. After increasing the cals to 20 all clients can connect, however now 17 cals are used. Can someone explain this behabvior? Could it be that norton anti virus ce 7,6 uses 1 cal and when the terminal session is startet another cal ist used? How or where can i see which machine is using how many cals? Please help me, this problem is driving me up the wall.

I thought Windows 2000, and XP didn't even need CAL's for terminal services anyway so you should only need 4 CAL's. Very odd.

There 2 types of cals, w2k cals and terminal services cals. Every clients needs the former to access a server, only non-w2k/xp pro clients need the ts cal.
