Hello there,
I have also purchased from Dell 15 additional CAL beside the 5 CAL that
came
with SBS server. I am not sure in what form does the additional licences
come in as or maybe they are encoded in the CDs that were ship to me from
Dell.
When I was going through Dell hardware configuration and after configuring
the RAID 5, I was asked to choose which OS to install. SBS 2003 was not
an
OPTION to install on PowerEdge 2850 server and so the Dell technician had
to
walk me thru to downloading a RAID driver. After installing the drivers
for
the RAID controller from the system configuration interface, it allows me
to
continue with the path to install SBS OS. But before I was able to
install
the OS, I was asked to input information such as the following:
1. The company name
2. Server name, DNS, WINS (with fields to enter in the IP address)
3. DHCP or STATIC IP (with fields to enter IPs)
4. Username (beside "administrator" or guest and the account has to have
domain admin right)
5. Account Password
6. Licence (PER-SEAT or PER SERVER)
Which option do I select for the licensing part? I want the end users to
be
able to log in more than 2 computers for example and so which kind of
licence
would I need. We have bought 15 additional CALs from Dell along with the
SBS
software and so there are more than enough CALs for our usage.
Hi Helen,
The correct option is per seat, but actually it is per user, which leads me
to believe that you may be filling in wrong forms.
However, you will actually abandon using the OpenManage CD and use CD1 from
your CD set instead. You will need your RAID driver on the floppy.
Hopefully, next time you'll consider an option other than Dell as well.
Your extra CALs are in the form of keycodes, most likely (3) of them. Check
for license certificates in paper form. Those should be "User" CALs and not
"Device" CALs.
Incidently, I don't recommend a RAID5 configuration for this server.
