Windows 2000 Internet Connector

Windows 2000 Internet Connector: Terminal Services licence for internet access by external users

The Windows 2000 Internet Connector is a licence for the Terminal Services of Windows 2000 Server. Unlike per-device access licences, it is not intended for your own employees but for providing Windows applications over the internet to external users. The offer is aimed at existing Windows 2000 environments whose terminal servers use exactly this licensing profile.

Purpose and classification

Microsoft introduced the Internet Connector in 1999 as an additional licence for terminal servers. It was intended to make Windows-based applications available over the internet to people who are not employed by the licensee, for example customers or partners who access an application anonymously over the internet. For users and devices of your own company, regular Terminal Services client access licences are intended instead.

Like the other Terminal Services licences, the Internet Connector is installed on an activated licence server. The details of use, such as permitted user groups and number of connections, are set out in the licence terms for Windows 2000 Server. Before purchasing, please check whether your existing installation uses this licensing profile. A Windows Server licence and further access licences are not included.

Buy Windows 2000 Internet Connector: licence and scope of delivery

For each product unit purchased, you receive one licensing unit of the Windows 2000 Internet Connector. You set the quantity in the shopping basket. The scope of delivery includes:

• the Windows 2000 Internet Connector in the quantity ordered
• the License Server ID (SPK) and the License Key Pack ID (LKP) for activation on the licence server
• instructions for activation (see also Guides and FAQ)
• the invoice with VAT shown separately

Delivery is digital once your payment has been received. To provide the activation data, we need the Product ID of your activated licence server; it is not a Windows product key. You submit the Product ID with a customer account under My Product Codes, without a customer account via the Guest Portal using your order number and billing email address. The License Server ID and License Key Pack ID are then available there for your order.

If you have any questions about activation on the licence server, our Support team is available around the clock by email. For businesses, schools and public authorities, there are offers in the B2B Area. You will find server licences and further access licences in the category Windows Server and under Operating Systems.
