Hi everyone

I have a question on the above mentioned. We are in the process of moving a local Access db to a central point. A remote desktop with terminal services setup, these remote users will access the db from the rdp session. There are 6-10 users. Can you please explain to me how the Access Licensing will work in this instance? Do we require each user to have an Access lic? IE - Access is part of Office 2010 Professional. 

Your help is greatly appreciated

Hi,

Please read this blog:

As far as the number of licenses, Office is licensed per device, not per user. You need a license for each device that will be accessing the terminal server. If you have devices that already have licenses for Access, you do not have to repurchase them for the terminal server but they need to be licensed to use the version that is installed on the server.

If you have any further question about License, I recommend you contact the volume licensing customer service, explain the scenario to them and ask if they can provide more help:
