Microsoft SQL Server 2000 client access license (CAL) licensing terms
states:

    A SQL Server CAL is required for a device (for example, a personal
    computer, workstation, terminal, personal digital assistant, or
    mobile phone) to access or use the services or functionality of
    either edition of SQL Server.

I have an application (exe) that accepts TCP/IP connections and stores
the IP addresses of the connecting computers or other devices to a table
stored at SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition database.
Do I have to have a CAL license for every connecting device?

I have an application (exe) that monitors caller numbers from a standard
phone line and stores the caller numbers to a table stored at SQL Server
2000 Standard Edition database.
Do I have to have a CAL license for every calling phone?
