Are the five CALs that came with the server license per device or per user?
A. For these first five CALs you get to choose. At the top of the CAL End User License Agreement (EULA) in the retail packaging, you can choose to allocate these CALs (up to a maximum of five) to either user or device. Again, we strongly recommend that you choose one type for your Windows Small Business Server 2003 installation. Harry’s Viewpoint: This confirms my discussion earlier in the chapter, but Microsoft’s recommendation for selecting just one type of CAL class for the total licensing scenario is bogus.
