If I remember the properganda correctly, Win2000AD has got a
TSE in it, with 5 CAL's ( Client Access Lic ). Yes, you would need a CAL for
eash conncurrent user {in per server lic, if they still so that }.
Another idea, is to try your old app on one of the latest distro's of
Linux which ship WINE with it, and see how well that works. If you app
is really old, you might be in luck and be able to run you app with WINE
and export X to thin-clients running Linux, which would mean that you
might not have to give M$ any money ... but you have to test this.
