A. This is a new licensing option that Microsoft has introduced in order to maximize licensing flexibility to better address our customers’ business needs. Windows Small Business Server customers can choose the CALs that make the most sense from a technology and cost perspective. For example, customers who need CALs only to access the SBS 2008 Standard technologies can use the SBS CAL Suite. Customers who need CALs to access SBS 2008 Standard and SBS 2008 Premium technologies can mix and match the SBS CAL Suite and SBS CAL Suite for Premium Users or Devices to achieve the most cost-effective CAL package.
