Does my printer or multi-function device require a CAL to connect to the Windows Small Business Server network?
A. In most cases, no, your printer or multi-function device will not require the acquisition of a CAL. However, if your device authenticates to the domain it will require a CAL. The most common scenario where you would need a CAL is when you have a multi-function device that uploads scanned images, such as a pdf, to a server share using authentication.
A. If you have elected “user CALs” then no CAL is required for the printer or multi-function device. If you have elected “device CALs” then the printer or multi-function device would need to have a device CAL, as the networked printer is accessing an instance of the server software. The most common scenario where you would need a CAL is when you have a multi-function device that uploads scanned images, such as a pdf, to a server share using authentication.
