Office 2000 licensing in Terminal Server 2003

[DJS]

We have a debate raging here at work. Do you need a
license for every user of Office 2000 that accesses it
over Terminal Service on Windows Server 2003? I say,
heck yes, but another guy here says somebody at Microsoft
told him 1 license of Office and the TS licenses we
bought would be sufficient.
Anybody know the DEFINITIVE answer?

Hi DJS,

See if the Information in the "Terminal Services Licensing Basics"
document on this page helps.

While you can install for an enterprise from a single copy
of Office under a volume license you would need multiple licenses.

So, nothing different because it's Server 2003? Same
licensing structure as Server 2000?

Hi DJS,

As far as I know the Office 2000 licensing wouldn't change due
to the flavor of Windows you're using. You can contact the
licensing folks directly through the contact links on
http://microsoft.com/licensing
