What is the difference between “types” of CALs and “licensing modes” for CALs?
A. The different types of CALs are outlined above. See Device and User CALs. Different licensing modes only apply to Windows CALs and pertain to how to assign the Windows CALs. * In Per Server mode, the Windows CALs acquired should equal the total number of users and/or devices accessing that server’s software at a given time. For example, in this mode, the maximum concurrent connections are equal to the number of Windows CALs acquired. * In Per Device or Per User mode, Windows CALs should be acquired for each device or user, in order for that device or user to access all the servers deployed in this mode. There is no limit to the number of devices or users accessing a server at a given time. * Please visit the CAL overview page for further detail, including a helpful graphic depicting CAL licensing modes. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv…ing/priclicfaq ..mspx#EEC From: sbs2k (AT) yahoogroups (DOT) com [mailto:sbs2k (AT) yahoogroups (DOT) com] On Behalf Of Quark IT – Hilton Travi
