Microsoft Office Pro 2013 for Terminal Server
I am running a Terminal Server in a VM, and I have offie 2013 Pro installed. Do I have to actually get a difference license for my terminal server, or can I use the licenses that I have for office, irregardless on what server I install it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

yes as long as each also has a license
"can I use my license" Singular? Unless you have a very strange environment, probably not. The question you are asking isn't simple and does get into the nuances of Microsoft's licensing. The answers given are accurate, but your return to the question at hand would at least subtly imply that the answers weren't fully understood. If you are asking whether you can just buy one license for Office 2013, install it on an RDS server, and have multiple users access Office, the answer is no. That'd be highly illegal.
As always, advice here is not legally binding. Microsoft's presales support is good and can get you where you need to go and provide you with the valid documentation to help ensure you are legal at the time of purchase.

Thanks Cliff, allow me to explain.
I have 75 licenses of office pro 2013. I have about the same amount of PCs, or less.
I am running a terminal server, and I installed office pro 2013 so if a user logged into the server can use office if needed.
I guess my question is, is there such a thing as a special license for office on a terminal server?

They are volume licenses
Then you are good to go and are legal to allow your users to access your Office 2013 Pro from your RDS server.
