TSplus as an alternative to RDS without paying RDS license fees to microsoft
Hello, We are evaluating whether to use TSplus (https://www.terminalserviceplus.eu/) as an alternative to Microsoft RDS/Terminal Server. According to TSplus we can not install or uninstall the RDS ...
If you use a proprietary protocol from Microsoft, you will logically need a license for it.
You should be transparent with your clients, just like Citrix does. They could operate without RDS CALs, but they inform that the CAL is necessary because they utilize the RDS framework for functioning. They are entirely transparent.
It's not about Microsoft disliking competition; it's about how the competition operates, and TSPlus does not act with clarity towards the customer.
I am not a Citrix reseller, but it is an excellent tool that operates with clarity and transparency. It competes with GO-Global and RDS, but I have no complaints about this product.
As for TSPlus, it does operate illegally, and any technician with minimal knowledge, through a quick search, will become aware of this fact!

Exactly that. There is no point looking for a way to avoid paying for CAL RDS licensing. It's bizarre how the product tries to suggest that it doesn't need an RDS CAL, but subjects the customer to copyright laws and unnecessary legal risk. A 5-minute look at the EULA reveals that you need the RDS CAL to work.
