VMware licenses are totally different from Microsoft licenses and they apply in different ways to different technologies. At this point you don't have to really worry about WMware licenses, 60 concurrent user licenses for View 7 I believe are enough. On the other hand, Microsoft seems to operate in a different way, so what you possibly need is 25 more license for users connecting to the RD Session Host server to access the application.
EXAMPLE:
"A. Per User licensing mode requires that each user account connecting to this RD Session Host server have an RDS Per User CAL.
RDS Per User CAL gives one user the right to access a RD Session Host server from an unlimited number of client computers or devices. RDS Per User CALs are not enforced by RD Licensing. As a result, client connections can occur regardless of the number of RDS Per User CALs installed on the license server. So with 60 concurrent user licenses for View 7 - you're fine.
When a user connects to TS it consumes a user CAL - There is no way to revoke a per user CAL. So to answer your question - you buy 75 CALS and 75 users can concurrently work on the Terminal Server and be happy. Let's say one of the 75 happy users decides to quit your organization. You remove them from AD and do all the proper cleanup. The next am, his/her replacement connects to TS and cannot logon because you are using per user licensing. When you run a report you will see that these CALS are assigned to users and are valid for a period of time before once again being able to be issued."
Honestly, I am not a license expert, what I telling you right now is just from my work experience, you should contact VMware & Microsoft License products, programs and pricing dept to get more info and a full quote.
