Remote desktop connection is a network protocol that provides a graphical
interface to connect another computer over a network connection.
NOTE: If you use a
Windows Server, or Citrix XenApp 5.0 with
Windows Server, a Terminal Services Client Access License (TSCAL)
server must also be accessible on the network. The server grants a
temporary license, which expires after 120 days. After the temporary
license expires, purchase and install the TSCALs on the server. You
cannot establish a connection without a temporary or permanent license.
