[K12OSN] rdesktop and licensing

[Trond Mæhlum <trondrm online no>]

Does anyone here use rdesktop to connect to Windows 2000 Server? If so,
how do you go about licensing? I'm setting up K12LTSP servers to serve
about 800 terminals. Of those 800 terminals I would like to run
rdesktop at maximum 50 concurrent users. I know that MS is rather
tricky when it comes to licensing. In my case I fear that I would have
to buy 800 client licenses, because all of those 800 terminals can
log on the Windows server.

Now this would completely overtrhow my budget and would also make the
whole K12lTSP environment pointless. I only need to use a few
applications on Windows - some specific schools programs.

So, do any know how to go about this?
