Hi all, first time here,
I would like to setup a windows 2012 standard server with 4 licences of autocad 2014 and all the drawings will be saved into that server,
I would like the users to access their licences of autocad and drawings from terminal services on their pc.
so there is nothing on their pc except the remote desktop software.
I saw that remote desktop is not a recommended setup for autodesk licensing... Citrix seem's the way to go...
What do I need to get to be legal with this architecture?
Do I need to purchase TS CALs?
What is the procedure to install?
the sever is running on 2 physical xeon processors and 32 G RAM with raid 10 drives...
the workstations all have superior and autodesk requirement video cards...
my other concern is the video card in the server, it is a matrox g200... is that an issue?
AutoCAD 2013 and other AutoCAD 2013 based Citrix Ready verticals:
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2003.
Citrix system with XenApp® 6.0 for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2.
Citrix system with XenApp® 5.0 for Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
Microsoft® Active Directory.
Dedicated Autodesk license server for session-specific licenses.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (or later).
Client computers should be bound to the network domain. Each client computer
should install either the full or web online client plug-in.
Users should use their domain logins to access both the Citrix web console and
the LAN.
I dont need CALs for terminal server and dont need network licensing server... correct?
Is active derectory a must... I have only 4 users... workgroup maybe?
what about my last question for the server video card...
yes you need to buy network licenses of the autodesk products
i can't say about the graphics card or the CAL license

Sharing a video card for TS is not really going to get you very good results.
