A. Windows Small Business Server 2003 does not provide a mechanism to track or display CALs. We strongly suggest, however, that you choose one CAL type (user/device) for your Windows Small Business Server 2003 installation. Windows Small Business Server 2003 will display only the number of CALs that have been activated. Harry’s Viewpoint: This is a major disappointment in SBS 2003 and I discuss this more in the More Microsoft-centric Licensing Topics section later in the chapter. You’re asked to comply with fairly rigorous licensing terms and conditions yet not given the best tools to do so!
