NOTE: If a Windows server is used, a Terminal Services Client Access Licenses (TSCAL) server must also
reside somewhere on the network. A Client Access License (CAL) permits a client to use the services provided

90 days. Beyond that, TSCALs must be purchased and installed on the TSCAL server. A client cannot make a
connection without a temporary or permanent license.
