I know that there is many questions and requests about RDS licensing
I've recently purchase 10 per user licenses to be able to use RDS I installed Broker/Web Access/Licensing services on the same server (say RDServer) on which I installed the 10 per user licenses.
I've deployed Host server (no VDI) on this same server (RDSServer). At first, I wanted to use this server as an entry point to access other servers on my LAN. So, 10 users can open, simultaneously, up to 10 sessions on RDSServer and from this server each user can open a classic terminal service session on other servers (up to 2 sessions simultaneously on that server)
Now, things changed, I need to install Host Server on the servers in LAN, so the 10 users can open more then 2 sessions on them
My question is: Do I need to purchase more licenses ?
Any help please ?

Verify that you have purchased enough CALs for the Terminal Server license server and that the Terminal Server Licensing mode matches the type of CAL available on the license server. Terminal Server licensing modes determine the type of CAL that a license server issues to a client. In Windows Server 2003, two types of CALs are available: Per User and Per Device. A Per Device CAL gives each client computer or device the right to access a terminal server that is running Windows Server 2003. A Per User CAL gives one user the right to access a terminal server from an unlimited number of devices. In this case, only one CAL is needed instead of a CAL for each device. Per User CALs are not monitored by Terminal Server. This means that even though there is a Per User CAL in the license server database, the Per User CAL is not decremented when it is used.
