Hi, I have a server running Foundation 2012 R2 and i'm setting up Remote Desktop Services. According to the licensing datasheets and various other things i've read it implies that I do not need to install CAL's for the user's and that I can have up to 15. My Question is, is there something that I do have to install? Is it a case of activating the licensing server and that's it or are there more steps to do to make sure that when the grace period is over I won't lose the ability to use RDS. Sorry if this is in the wrong category etc.
