Re: 75 users limit

Hi,

Just to add some additional information for your reference:

Device CALs might make most economic and administrative sense for an
organization that has multiple users for one device, such as shift workers.

User CALs might make most sense for an organization that has many roaming
employees who access the corporate network from unknown devices and/or
employees who access the network through multiple devices.

The number of Windows Small Business Server 2003 CALs required equals the
maximum number of users or devices that may simultaneously access or use
the server software installed on a particular server. The Windows Small
Business Server 2003 CALs that you purchase are designated for use
exclusively with a particular server.

You have the right to switch one time to the other license type-from user
CALs to device CALs or from device CALs to user CALs. Your Windows Small
Business Server 2003 CALs (of either type) would then be used in the other
mode instead.

For more information, please check the articles below:

Hope this helps.
