terminal services licensing

[Rob]

i have a citrix environment running in house. (citrix server + a domain
controller and a licence server)

The sales team have purchased 10 device cals
The support team have purchased 20 device cals

is there any why of preventing the sales team from using the support
cals ?

Using domain / group policy or citrix policy or a combination of both ?


Many thanks

No, this is not possible on a single TS and a single LS.

Thanks Vera,
I was mainly after suggestions as to how i can split them,
I have other 2003 servers that i can convert into licence servers,
however i am unsure how i can control the users licence choice

Only way to do this is by dedicating a separate TS and a separate LS
to each user group. So a total of 4 servers for 30 users!
Seems like overkill to me, since licenses are *not* concurrent, so
you need one for every device anyway.

I would suggest that you simply buy enough licenses to cover each
group's needs.
