What is the difference between a Windows Small Business Server 2003 license and a Windows Small Business Server 2003 client access license (CAL)? Why do I need both?
A. The Windows Small Business Server 2003 license gives you the right to install and use the server software. The Windows Small Business Server 2003 CAL gives you the right to have a device or user access the server software. Harry’s Viewpoint: This is an important distinction between the server application license and the client license. A server license relates to the legal mumbo jumbo associated with the actual server-based operating system or program running on the server machine. The client-side CAL relates to a user having the legal right to access the server from the network. The importance of this specific dialog is that you must purchase CALs above and beyond the server-side application and operating system. Q.
