More info?)
OK, but when I buy a new car, I do not find out after getting it that I can
no longer drive it with my old shoes, becuase those shoes can with the old
car, and I got used to those shoes. New car, old shoes, can't drive. Why
would you give the software license away, then 3 years later when we upgrade
make us pay an exobinante amount after silently giving us a 120-day grace
period, then BAM send Microsoft more money!!!
How can I order just one single copy of Terminal Services Client Access
License.
We are not on any select volume licensing program. Is it downloadable?
Do I get a Device License or a User License? Where is the difference
explianed?
