Description

Hello,

Does using OpenSSH on windows requires client access license (CAL) for every connection?

In particular,

  1. Does OpenSSH running on a windows server require as many CALs as there are SSH users?
  2. Does OpenSSH running on Windows 10 Home allows multiple users to connect with SSH at the same time?
    (assuming users connected through SSH only run command-line programs, never GUI or RDS etc)

Sorry if this is slightly off-topic for the github repository, but there doesn't seem to be any reliable information regarding SSH connection licensing anywhere...

Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Thanks!
