We have the possibility to install this component on a Windows server 2008, you don't have to have Terminal Services installed, and is usually installed on the server that has the role of Gateway. This component allows us to connect to applications published on Terminal Servers or to a desktop on a Terminal Services server.

In any organization with Terminal Services servers, a license server must be installed that will be the one that controls how many users/devices connect to the Terminal Services servers. This is a component that needs to be installed on a server on the network, regardless of the components you have installed, and where we will later activate it via the internet/web browser/phone; and then we will install the licenses we have purchased. When we have the server installed and with the licenses purchased, we can generate reports/reports of their use, Consumer Use…
