need advice on which licensing to buy

-

i work in pc tech support day, , have supported friend's small business on , off last few years.

tasked upgrading aging win 2000 server , thoroughly confused microsoft's new terminology services , licensing windows server 2012.

here's exists on site:

2 ms dos pcs (before ask - specialty manufacturing equipment)

4 xp pcs (also manufacturing equipment)

4 windows 7 clients

windows 2000 server central repository of programming files manufacturing equipment

5-10 users (employees, including myself maintenance tasks)

what i'm adding:

new server windows 2012 server.

5 thin clients adobe reader, ms office applications only.

i understand rds more or less citirx, , not licensing mechanism controls rdp sessions, thought.  need know minimum (cheapest) amount of licensing required above scenario.  had spec'd out server 2012 standard 10 user cals, i'm seeing if want configure thin clients in way have special access need rds cals well.

thanks in advance.

yeah, need rds cal (user or device) per requirement standard cal. windows remote desktop services client access license (cal) required each device or user accessing windows remote desktop services.

please remember when purchase rds cal user, before have rd license server install , activated , after can install rds cal it. in scenario can buy required number of user cal , can meet needs.
