App-V TS License is included in 2008 RDS CALs
Wednesday, 09 September 2009 by Michel Roth
For those of you that had not noticed yet, an RDS 2008 R2 CAL will include the right to use Softgrid App-V for Terminal Server Remote Desktop Session Host. For free. Or almost.

Well it is not exactly free. It used to cost you $18 per user on TS. The 2008 R2 RDS CAL is 5% higher than the 2008 RDS CAL that did not include tnis functionaly. This 5% equates to $7,50 you pay extra to use App-V (plus you get all the cool new R2 RDS stuff!!!!). So in essence it is free.

I think you missed that ALL existing 2008 TS CAL customers get the new rights too!
