If I am reading this correctly you have an application that when other
applications attach to it the first logs the IP address of the second. Does
the second application (or device) then extract data from the database or is
some other process done? If the purpose of the database is to store the IP
addresses captured by the first application you need a CAL for each machine
running that application. in the case of the second scenario you would need
one CAL for the machine running the phone number capturing application and
any other machine involved in extracting that information from the database.
