Can a customer currently on a Site License take advantage of the device option?
Yes, in fact, Novell encourages this. All sites licenses will be transitioned as customers choose to move to either VLA or MLA. CLA Site License part numbers are no longer offered and the device model takes the place of the site license. CLA customers can seamlessly transition to device licensing on eligible products. Existing Site License customers should ensure that prior to transition they are current with their Site License obligations. All transitions will occur on a 1:1 ratio. No paperwork is required for the transition from Site License to the Device model. Under the user/device option, customers will buy the standard User part number but will document internally what counting method they are using. If any licenses are to be retired during this transition, the customer must fill out the appropriate documents for a reduced license count (see www.novell.com/licensing/policy for details).
