Yes, this is how we interpret the Microsoft license agreement. If you use 
a Windows server, you will need CALs regardless of if you use ThinLinc 
and/or other similar products. But for a definite answer, you need to talk 
to a Microsoft representative.






I haven't looked inte the M$ licensies for a while, but last time I looked, they charged both for "users" and for "devices". I believe you can interpret the license terms such as the TL server is ONE device, so if you connect to the TL server from multiple devices, you still get only ONE device connecting to the M$ server.

 Though all this is of coarse only "interpretations", and no one except M$ Attorneys(if even they can...?) can interpret this...

> If so, what is the difference to use between Remote Desktop application and Thin Linc?

If you are only interested in running Windows applications on a Windows 
Remote Desktop server (now and forever...), a setup without ThinLinc is 
sometimes the most cost effective solution. ThinLinc will give you a few 
features though, such as SSH encryption, HTML5 client etc.

However, the ThinLinc product is most suited where you have an interest in 
running at least some Linux/Unix applications or desktops, today or 
tomorrow. At its core, the product is a Linux Remote Desktop Server with 
great abilities to connect to other systems.
