Hi,

Can someone please help me with the below concern.

I have a customer who wants to migrate their Windows Terminal Server services from Windows Server 2008R2 version to 2016 and I have a question about the licensing of Office for this terminal services.

I want to know which office licensing they will have to use, a perpetual license (Office 2019) or Office365 ProPlus (Microsoft apps) subscription?

Best Regards,
VN
