Windows Terminal Server Licensing Mode

Hi all.
Anybody knows how to license a Windows Terminal Server to be used only throught SGD?. I have more than 100 users behind a SGD, and I want to export Windows applications to them.
I know that there are to kinds of Windows Terminal Server licenses. Users or Devices CAL's. If I'm using SGD, do i need a license for each users, or with one license for each SGD server is enought?.
Thanks.

Hi.
It's not Oracle limitation or rules. It's rules of Microsoft.

"You may deploy network architectures that use hardware or software to reduce the number of devices or users that directly access the software on a server. This is referred to as multiplexing or pooling. However, this does not reduce the number of CALs required to access or use the server software. A CAL is required for each device or user that is connected to the multiplexing or pooling software or hardware front end."

  • Move Terminal server licenses to another server

    We have one terminal server VM hosted in hyper v server. currently there is a problem with the hyper v server hdd and we might need to rebuild the whole server. We would like to setup a new terminal server on a new server. The existing terminal server is
    windows server 2003. After I fresh setup the Windows server 2003 VM in a new server, how do I move the terminal server license to a new server? FYI, we would like to decommission the old terminal server. But we would like to do it in parallel as there are
    many users are still accessing to the old terminal server.
    Thanks so much.
    Regards,

    Hi Henry,
    First you need to gather your licensing paperwork, authorization number(s), license number(s), etc. for your existing licenses.  This step is critical.
    Next install RD Licensing on the replacement 2003 server, Activate it using Terminal Server Licensing (licmgr.exe), then install the TS CALs.  If you receive an error when installing the old TS CALs please contact the Clearinghouse and explain
    to them you need to install the TS CALs on a new server because the old one is being decommissioned.

    Once you have confirmed that the old TS CALs are installed on the replacement 2003 TS then make sure your 2003 TS is set to the correct Licensing mode (to match the type of TS CALs) and you have Specified the name of the new RD Licensing server. 
    You do this in Terminal Services Configuration (tscc.msc) on the replacement terminal server.
    As an alternative you could install the existing TS CALs on a newer RD Licensing server such as Server 2008 R2, Server 2012, etc.  You still will need to have the authorization number(s), license number(s), etc. for the existing 2003 TS CALs.

  • Get Report of Terminal Server license report

    Is there a way I can track our Terminal Server Licenses usage. For example I have bought 50 licenses, are they being used to full capacity or under used. What is the monthly maximum usage. And we have about 10 servers hosting terminal services
    in our AD, do I have to generated a report for each ? Is there tool that can do this ? Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    For finding active session on terminal server you can use command as follow.
    query session /server:SERVER2
    A user can always query the session to which the user is currently logged on. To query other sessions, the user must have Query Information access permission.
    More information.

  • Tips to install Sap Gui On Windows Terminal Server 2003

    Does anybody know any method to install SapGui on Windows Terminal Server 2003 to share it to many users ?
    The problem is: when I try to install Sap Gui 6.40 via Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs it tells me that I must change the mode with "change user /install". I dont know the reason why it reports me that if I do it via Control Panel. And if I do that and then I launch the installation again it reports me the warning again.
    What should I do ?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    We have SAP R3 4.6C.
    We want to optimize the bandwidth in a 802.11b radio. Because of that we dont want to run any application in the hand-held.
    We'll intend to launch a remote desktop on a dozen hand-helds connecting the Windows 2003 Terminal Services server. In this server we could run SAP GUI, WebSapconsole or the browser.
    Its important to note that the hand-held computers must only show the designed windows (sized to 16x20), removing title bars, transaction bar, menu bars, tool bars, status bars, etc. For this purpouse I think we can use WebSapconsole.
    With this method we have noticed that when a error or warning is displayed it hides some part of the screen instead of presenting in the status bar.
    I hope you all your doubts are clear now, if not just tell me.
    Thank you.
    PS. Sorry for my english.

  • Server Licensing Mode?

    In Windows Server 2012 R2, are the old "Per Seat / Per Server" license modes even present any more? Is there a way to check what license mode a server is in?

    Hi,
    For licensing related issue, you’d better contact Microsoft licensing team. In the United States and Canada, you may call the licensing team directly at
    1-800-426-9400
    (select option 4), Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. (PST) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist. In this way, you will know the detailed information about license.
    Worldwide customers can use the Guide to Worldwide Microsoft Licensing Sites

  • Can't install LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on Windows Terminal Server

    With my system admin, we tried to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on our Windows Terminal Server NT4. And we get an error all the time:
    -install using the plugin
    -install using LVRTE.exe
    -install after rebooting the server
    But I remember that we could install the Run-Time Engine 6.0 on another Windows Terminal Server NT4.
    Is there any compatibility issues with the new Run-Time Engine 6.1 ??
    Thanks for your help
    Cyrille

    Cyrille,
    What is the error that you get when trying to install the run-time engine?
    Are you installing it from the LabVIEW CD, or did you download it from the web site?
    To further troubleshoot this problem, it would be best if you send us an email to [email protected] and send the above information.
    Also, try running the installer from the command prompt window, and use the following syntax:
    setup.exe/l*v
    This will save the error log to the file you specify. Send us also this file to help us troubleshoot.
    Thanks

  • Cannot quit Visual FoxPro (Windows Terminal Server 2008 + Citrix XenApp 5 + VMWare vCenter 5.1)

    Hi everybody:
    This is not the typical question about this error, because the problem here is not about how to quit (CLEAR EVENTS then QUIT). The really and weird problem is that our application do no execute the error trapping routines (Try/Catch and ON ERROR) and tries
    to directly Quit.
    I have never seen something like this before, error trapping routines not executed.
    I try to explain the problem better:
    - The user click on the Citrix icon of our App
    - Citrix shows the executed processes (establishing connection, applying user config, loading profile, etc)
    - The Application (VFP 9 SP2) is started and in any moment, while loading, occurs an error that is not handled by error handlers, and it executes a "kind" of a Quit command, that we detect because have a ON SHUTDOWN to catch it, then the App shut
    down and the user must click the Citrix icon and start all over again, up to 7 times, when the App really load and work.
    - I think that it is useful to make clear that no QUIT command is really causing this, just the behaviour of the QUIT when an error occurs, but just while loading. If the App get completely loeaded, then everything works as expected
    Infraestructure:
    - Windows Terminal  Server 2008 + Citrix XenApp 5 + VMWare vCenter 5.1
    - There are up to 50 concurrent users max in every virtualized server
    - More than 10 GB of free disk space / Up to 4 GB ram
    - RAM Memory is never used to the max
    - CPU (Intel Xeon) is never used to the max (up to 90% in some cases)
    - Data (DBFs for temporal work) ar on local drive, not over network (to avoid network known problems with smb2-3)
    - There are connection to a Oracle 11 database for permanently storing the data
    About the errors:
    - They are not always the same or in the same place. In example, in one execution could fail the query of SET("Printer",2), in other execution could fail a SET PROCEDURE TO xxx ADDITIVE (sometimes already loaded), in other could fail a "DO
    WHILE .T." in a init event.... completely crazy, and in all cases the errors are not thrown, not a single error code, the App just try to quit, as if ALT+F4 where pressed.
    - All this does not happen allways to everyone, but happens many times in the day to many many users as to be worried
    - The same user can have this error many times a day, but not allways
    - Some of the problems started when migrating to Windows Terminal Server 2008, but didn't notice nothing special in the beginning, but a year later (last 2014) problems tend to go worse
    Tried solutions:
    - For the "SET PROCEDURE TO xxx ADDITIVE" error, a "IF xxx $ SET('PROCEDURE')" check was added
    - The "SET('Printer',2)" check was moved out of initialization code, so it executes when user want to print the first time. In this case was neccesary to talk with IT guys to map a default printer after the App runs, and not in background, as it
    was.
    - Other checks and modifications was made to minimize posibility of errors
    - Adding a timeout of 5 secs in the start of the program, to force a wait
    - Restart of virtual servers (not the phisical) every 3 weeks
    What I suspect:
    - Some Microsoft optimization (memory?, process execution?) in WTS-2008 may interfere?
    - Some VMWare memory management may interfere with WTS-2008?
    - Some Citrix management may interfere with both?
    - Server degradation because of day to day use
    Results until now:
    - Apparently, adding the timeout to force 5 secs delay and the restart of the server have made a notable enhancement in App start and running
    with far fewer
    errors
    Has
    this happened to anyone?
    Thanks! o_O
    Fernando D. Bozzo / Madrid (Spain)

    I never had this type of problems, but somewhat similar start up problems. I'd say it indicates resource problems. Low RAM can cause many unpredictable things. In my case loading much data at the begin of an application caused out of memory errors, which
    were reported and logged normally, though.
    I made a small tool using Windows API functions GetPerformanceInfo and GetProcessMemoryInfo, you'll find declaration and usage like usual at the News2News site. It's a bit lengthy and cluttered, but pretty much what you find there anyway, so I'll not post
    my utility code.
    I could quite clearly see how many users degraded available memory per session and at some time no further instance of the application was possible on the server. In my case RDP was used to start the app, Citrix will be quite the same, in the end the application
    runs on some server and users see the remote running application.

  • Swing app in JDK6 continues to rendering slow in Windows Terminal Server

    Hi,
    Because Swing apps create interfaces internally and not using default OS APIs,
    when running into a Windows Terminal Server client, there is no way to optimize
    rendering. Windows Terminal Server and Linux FreeNX use a mechanism to send
    to client only commands to render the windows. But, because the way Swing works,
    not totally integrated to OS APIs, it's not possible for terminal servers to do this,
    and these servers render Swing like images, something like VNC do, very slower than.
    I have tested native apps and AWT apps, and the difference is very significant,
    something like 50-70% faster.
    Is there some project in Swing APIs or java.net open-sources to better this?

    We are also seeing this issue with a Compiere implementation. With 10 distributed sites across the US, our client wanted to use Windows Terminal Services to simplify the client desktop management of the Swing application.
    But performance is terrible...and screen painting issues a real problem. We are also on JDK5 still, so I'm discouraged to see that JDK6 doesn't appear to offer much improvement?
    Is there any project afoot to address this issue for installations using terminal services?
    Thanks,
    Peter

  • Is BPC 7.0 compatible with Windows Terminal Server 2008?

    Is BPC 7.0 compatible with Windows Terminal Server 2008? We are having printing issues when on WTS 2003.

    BPC 7.0M SP08 was released on September 1st and now supports the client install on both Server 2008 and Windows 7 so yes, you should be able to use terminal server in Windows 2008 if you install SP08. It also has limited support for Office 2010, full support will come with SP09. SAP Note 1490544 is the central SP08 note, and 1504400 is the download note.

  • B1 pelo WTS (Windows Terminal Server)

    Boa tarde a todos...
    Estou com um problema aqui na empresa que trabalho, foi implantado o B1 na unidade central e agora estamos implantando na filial de Porto Alegre....
    Os usuarios de Porto Alegre irão acessar a base de dados que fica na central em São Paulo via WTS (Windows Terminal Server )...
    Acontece que estamos enfrentando um grande problema com velocidade, visto que o acesso de Porto Alegre ficou extremamente lento.
    Alguem ja passou por uma situação parecida?
    Saberiam como melhorar essa questão da velocidade?
    Ou alguma outra sugestão para essa implantação?
    Edited by: Rui Pereira on Aug 6, 2008 1:54 PM
    Edited by: Rui Pereira on Aug 27, 2008 5:02 PM

    Oi
    Não existe uma forma de alterar o SAP B1 para melhorar limitações de conetividade remota.
    O WTS possui os seus próprios requisitos mínimos de comunicação e consoante o tamanho dos documentos e a quantidade de usuários conetados a performance vai ser mais reduzida.
    Caso a rede seja utilizada para outras atividades, como armazenamento de arquivos (Word, Excel, etc...) isso irá afetar ainda mais a performance da comunicação remota.
    Normalmente os valores recomendos são:
    Windows Terminal Services .        
    -Bandwidth per user =  20 - 40 Kb  
    -Memory per user =  50 - 70 MB     
    Nota: Estes valores são meramente indicativos e a documentação mais recente da Microsoft deve ser consultada relativamente a largura de banda recomendada tal como referido na nota SAP 675004.

  • Install SAP GUI 7.20 on Windows terminal server

    Hi,
    I would like to install SAP GUI 7.20 on a Windows Terminal Server and configure it so that all users on the terminal server share a common configuration. As the installation is now all users have to define the systems in GUI the first time they start it, but I would like to do this globally. Is this possible?
    Best regards,
    Thor-Egil

    > estimated 20 or more users who will be using the WTS to do their specific transaction. How much ram do we need to put in the WTS to handle 20 or more users?
    This depends on what the users will do on that system. I suggest you contact the hardware vendor for a sizing of the machine.
    > and follow up question, do you recommend using terminal servers?
    It's an easy way to centralize the administration, you have got only one SAPGui installation.
