MS 2003 server requirements question

Does anyone know how MS licensing works when deploying Connect Pro on-premise? Do you have to buy user licenses from MS? Thank you.

Re: MS 2003 server requirements question

In general I believe you are really talking about two different things, Microsoft licensing should not come into effect with regards to Adobe Connect.

A user license from Microsoft relates to a end users ability to log into to the windows server and use an application on that server.

You license for Adobe Connect relates to how you can use the software.

A user who logs into Adobe Connect (hosted on your windows server) from a remote location through their web browser (how Connect works) will not be using any MS licensing.

If on the other hand you required your presenter to use Terminal Services or somehow connect to your server (e.g. using it as their local computer) and then launch Connect from there you may need to look at user licenses.

Unless you are doing something very different from what I am thinking you are you should be fine.
