I am looking into purchasing Windows Server 2008 software but I noticed that they sell a (separate?) package called "Server 2008 Terminal Services License". Is Terminal services separate or is it included in the standard Server 2008 package? Price for Server 2008 is around $550 and this other package sells for $650.00



 
Windows 2008 has two built in( for free) TS access sessions intended for administration purposes. If you need more than two, you will need to purchase the TS cals. $650 is high for a 5 CAL license, more like $ 425. It is the CALs you need (license is purchased per "user" or per "device"), no other components are need to be purchased. Generally you want per "user" CALs.
