<Hi Ryan,
<
<Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.
<
<Yes are right, a SBS CAL is assigned to specific user or devices. Please
<read the following:
<
<Q. Is each CAL tied to a specific user or device?
<
<A. Yes. They are not "floating" licenses and so they must be assigned to
<specific users or devices. If a user leaves the company or a device is
<retired, then the CAL can be reassigned.

<<Hi Guys,
<<
<<I need some info on CAL's.. Am I right in saying that once a CAL has been
<<purchased for a machine, it then lives and dies with the machine, much
<like
<<an OEM license?
<<
<<Also, if the CAL documentation has been lost and the server has been
<<completely formatted and started over - can the CAL's be recovered? I'm
<<trying to pick up the pieces for a customer but as far as I can tell,
they
<<may have to buy another 5 licenses seperate to the 5 that come with SBS.
<<
<<Any help is much appreciated!
<<
<<Thanks,
<<Ryan
