Re: Server Licensing?



OK if your in an SBS domain environment, which I assume you are if you have
SBS installed as it does need to be the DC that holds all the FSMO roles as
well as the GC's then all you need are SBS user CAL's. You only needs CAL's
for the DC that is doing the authenticating which is the SBS server.
Additionally you do need TS CAL's for the Windows Server running terminal
services.

I have 4 servers (details below) in my network and 24 client computers (
Most clients have XP Pro with about 3 that have 2000
2 Windows 2000 servers one of which is the DC with exchange and the web
site, the others are a fax server, and remote server
1 windows 2003 server which is the new one I am in process of setting up.
This will be our SQL server.

How should I have my CALs licensing setup?? (obviously the least licenses
that I have to purchase the better.

The DC is using Microsoft SBS and when I bring up the licensing it says
unlimited with 31 in uses plus 5 for Terminal Services.

I just found the licensing is actually in the remote server 45 total
Server
CAL's, 30 for the DC, 10 for the Fax Server (I think), and 5 for the
remote.
I am showing that of the 45 that a negative 13 have been reached. Not
sure
what this means. Because when I go into it farther it has Server - 30
with
19 reached, Server2(think this is the fax server) - 10 purchased with 12
reached, remote server - 5 with 5 reached. They are all server CAL's. I
also have 30 CAL's purchased for Exchange server with 10 reached. When I
add
all this together I do not come up with the negative 13 that it has.

The the new 2003 server I purchased 15 CAL's I am now wondering if I even
need them. And in setting up this server should I set it up as per server
or
per device/user?

Then, I would like to know how many CAL's I should have for my network???
Can I get less? Should I have the servers in per server more? per user
mode?
What would be my best bet as far as having my licensing setup?? Thanks for
your help
