Ah but if you are using VNC remotely then by definition you can't be using XP localy .. As NT is single user only (Terminal services is a software add on...) And therfore the Workstation Licence is transferable to the VNC client
So you don't need to worry about it.. Also under English Law licences like that are considered a pile of crap... (and not legaly binding) just like those stupid 'If you open this envelope you except the terms and conditions inside...' It's called entrapment. Regards, Malcolm.
