Per Server Licensing: The number of client access licenses purchased is applied to a specific computer running Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0. There is no restriction on who may use the server; the restriction is only on the number of clients that have simultaneous use of the server.
Per Seat Licensing: A client access license is purchased for each computer that obtains access to a server product. If you need to add an additional server for your licensed clients, you need to purchase a server license rather than more client licenses.
