Re: Licensing Information

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

First point: Licensing can be very tricky and difficult to understand and
you are always best off discussing this with your Microsoft TAM or point of
contact.

Secondly, you will still need an OS license for each server running W2K3 in
a cluster situation. Clustering does not modify the licensing terms for the
participant node servers.

Could any one please advise, If I am intending to allow 10 users to access
the 2003 enterprise server through Terminal services, do I require CAL's
for
the Windows Server 2003 enterprise as well as CAL's for Windows Terminal
Services?

Could someone also explain the licensing implications on 2 node cluster
server?
If I have Windows Server 2003 enterprise installed on 2 servers in a
cluster
or
NLB configuration where only one OS is running and accessable at any one
time, do we still require a OS license for both servers? and if so do we
require
CAL's for both servers? or can the licensing service determin which Server
is running and allow access accordinly?

Help..... I am confused.
