IT - Access Office service from Terminal Server
How many Office license for my terminal server if I can have 150 remote clients simultaneously accessking the Terminal Server?
Sorry, that's wrong. If you want 150 connections, you need 150 licenses. Basically, you need one per CAL.
Further, you need to understand, Terminal Services/Remote Desktop Services is NOT licensed by concurrent connection. It's licensed by NAMED device or HUMAN User (meaning you can't create 150 user accounts and have 300 people use them).

Actually, you can ONLY install the volume license edition on a terminal server. All other versions won't install (starting with 2007).

What if you only want to use Office word and excel for reading only, no editing. Will I still need office licenses?

Usually the CAL's also allow the usage as part of the licencing.
