Thank you very much Metin.

We plan to offer our payroll application, which is a desktop VFP program, via Terminal Server. It sounds like we must purchase a Terminal Server license for each separate customer, and not only enough licenses to cover the number of users that are logged in at a particular time. If a user logs in from a different computer does he need a different license or can he login using the same license?

Last, where do you go to purchase the Terminal Server licenses? From Microsoft itself?

Your experience is very helpful. Thanks.

Alex
