Can a customer who is using SBS 2008 Premium Edition purchase SQL Server 2008 CALs instead of SBS 2008 CAL Suite for Users or Devices to satisfy their licensing requirements?
A. No. Access to the SBS 2008 network requires a SBS 2008 CAL for all users or devices. However, customers only have to purchase SBS 2008 CAL Suite for Premium Users or Devices (“Premium” CAL) for those users/devices who are accessing the Premium features; all other users/devices can be in compliance by purchasing SBS 2008 CAL Suite (“Standard” CAL).
