Re: SBS 2008 / Win 2008 Server / SQL 2005 Licensing Question

regarding SBS CALs, as I understand it, that if you buy Premium, the 5 built in CALs would be premium CALs, so yes you would only need 5 more premium CALs

SBS Premium will include the Second Windows Server Standard license so that's covered. And yes, if all 10 users are going to access TS, you'll need 10 TS cals

And to be totally clear, you can install SQL on either the SBS server or the second server included in Premium.

So just to clarify:

If I purchase SBS 2008 Premium, with 5 additional CAL's, the 10 CAL's will
cover access to the SBS Server & the SQL 2008 application running on that SBS
2008 Server?

I'd then simply need one Win 2008 Standard license for my domain member
server and 10 TS CAL's ?

thanks again,
