Licencing is a question for you and your local VAR or MS Office.

broadly speaking you don't need CALs for your FE. You just need the
server licence (Standard FE to Enterprise BE is absolutley fine btw)
You need a server licence for the BE and all relevant CALs for the
clients or devices.

Again, boradly speaking, you are likely only to need One Enterprise
licence, One Standard licence and either 180 or 200 CALs, depending on
what your local MS office tells you.
