Guest Ben Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Hi, I've just been asked to look at licensing for a client, and I have a couple of questions, that I'd like to get straight in my head, as I still find the whole licensing area complex! If the client is running 1x File/Print Server (Win 2003 standard server), 1x Exchange Server (2003), 1x Update/Web Server (Win 2003 standard server), & 1x ISA Server (2006) and they have 10 users, they need: 1) 10 Windows CALs cover all 4 servers, as long as servers are configured in "per seat" mode? 2) If they brought 10 Core CALs this would cover them for all 4 Windows Servers, and the Exchange server (as well as any SharePoint/SMS servers they might get in the future)? 3) Similar question to above, but just to double check - If the client were to purchase the Open License Value - Company Wide scheme (Professional Desktop Suite), which includes core CALs, they would be covered for the 4 Windows servers, & Exchange server? 4) This questions is a moot point if the answer to q1 is yes, but if not - If they have ISA 2006 server running on Windows 2003 standard, do they need Windows CALs, or just ISA server CALs? (same question goes for Exchange server if the answer to q1 is no!) Sorry if these questions, or similar have been asked before, I was hoping there would be a general microsoft.public.licensing newsgroup, but the ones that do exist seem to be foreign! Any help much appreciated! Cheers Ben
