1. A server based method for deploying remote presentation sessions, comprising: receiving, at the server, a request for a client access license and at least one attribute indicative of a per user licensing mode or a per device licensing mode; extracting, by the server, the at least one attribute and determining, based on the at least one attribute, that the requested client access license should be issued, wherein the at least one attribute is received by the server as part of a capability exchange in accordance with a remote presentation protocol; validating, by the server, the requested client access license; and issuing the requested client access license, wherein the issued client access license is operable to support the per user licensing mode or the per device licensing mode, the server being configured to validate and issue both per user and per device client access licenses, wherein in the per user licensing mode a client access license allows a single user to access server resources and wherein in the per device licensing mode a single client access license enables a single computing device to access server resources regardless of how many users are using the single computing device.
