Hi, Why would it matter if the External Connector is only for non-employees? It depends on the cost when you consider to buy CAL for server and for remote desktop service.
As suggested above, you may check with VLSC on the detailed price and explain your requirement to get a most cost-effective plan. Remote Desktop Services Installation. This category only includes cookies that ensures basic functionalities and security features of the website.

Note If the external connector does not work after you follow these steps, you may have to install per-user licenses on the Terminal Server License Server. With the User CAL, you purchase a CAL for every user who accesses the server to use services such as file storage or printing, regardless of the number of devices they use for that access.
Purchasing a User CAL might make more sense if your company's employees need to have roaming access to the corporate network by using multiple devices, or from unknown devices, or if you simply have more devices than users in your organization. Device CALs. With a Device CAL, you purchase a CAL for every device that accesses your server, regardless of the number of users who use that device to access the server.
Device CALs may make more economic and administrative sense if your company has workers who share devices, for example, on different work shifts. External Connectors. If you want external users—such as business partners, external contractors, or customers—to be able to access your network, you have two licensing options:. External Connector licensing. An EC license assigned to a server permits access by any number of external users, as long as that access is for the benefit of the licensee and not the external user.
Each physical server that external users access requires only one EC license regardless of the number of software instances running. An "instance" is an installed copy of software. The right to run instances of the server software is licensed separately; the EC, like the CAL, simply permits access.
Under the Per Core model, when the server software is running in the physical OSE, you must license all physical cores on the server. To determine the number of core licenses you need, count the total number of physical cores for each processor on the server, and then multiply that number by the appropriate core factor.
You do not need to purchase additional CALs. Software licensed by core. Specialty Server licensing. Specialty Servers are server-only licenses that generally do not require CALs.
