      I am setting up a terminal server today. From my understanding, only two users may login at a time until USER CALs are added. If I add 5 user CALs would that give me 5 users total or 5 + 2?

        Pretty sure that it just gives you five.

          Maybe I'm smoking crack, But there used to be a way to get temp licenses. They were only good for I think 30 days or so.

            It looks like you have 120 days before you have to use the licenses

                That's normally the case.

                  On initial install, yes.

                    Remote Desktop supports two concurrent connections to remotely administer a computer. You do not need a license server for these connections.

                    Translation for those admin dudes only.

                        You almost always can get temp licenses.

                          It's 5. The 2 is for remote administration mode, which you lose when you switch RDS server modes.
