Terminal Services (TS) or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) scenario clarifications

dear support,

question:

do still need purchase rds cals license? or can use msdn cals in terminal server?

due msdn subscribers end users, not use production data , have demo developed applications other end users group.

scenario:

1. use remote desktop session.

2. end users msdn subscribers.  (although stated microsoft end users non msdn subscribers)

3. end users demo applications end users.

4. end users develop applications , have demo other end users group.

from msdn link:

client access licenses terminal services

with msdn subscription, allowed provide end users access internet demonstrations of programs via terminal services (windows server 2003 or windows server 2008) or remote desktop services (windows server 2008 r2). 200 anonymous users can simultaneously access demonstration way. demonstration must not use production data. msdn subscribers licensed demonstrate applications end users, but terminal services (ts) or remote desktop services (rds) scenario end users without msdn subscription can interact demonstration application while software licensed through msdn subscriptions.

accessing cals            
msdn subscribers can access cals demonstration purposes through product keys page of msdn subscriber downloads. please access documentation resources online assistance terminal server activation process. if have questions, please visit microsoft terminal services forum.
