Re: Per-User-CAL

You have to call the Clearinghouse to get your licenses re-issued
as Per User licenses, which you then have to install as a new
license pack on the Licensing Server.
You need to have Software Assurance on your existing TS CALs. For
details:

Windows Server 2003 Pricing and Licensing FAQ
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/howtobuy/licensing/pricl
icfaq.mspx

Q. Will I be allowed to switch between Windows Device CALs and
Windows User CALs? What about TS CALs?

A. Customers who have active Software Assurance coverage for
Windows Server CALs under agreements signed on or before April 1,
2003 may change their Windows Device CALs to Windows User CALs at
the time of the annual true-up process. These transition rights can
also be applied in the same way for switching from TS Device CALs
to TS User CALs for TS CALs covered by SA under agreements signed
on or before April 1, 2003.

Customers with current Software Assurance for CALs acquired after
April 1, 2003 may switch their Device CALs to User CALs and User
CAL to Device CALs upon renewal of their Software Assurance
coverage for those CALs.

Thanks for the information.

We have decided to switch form per-device to per-user, since we
only have a few people where each of them uses a computer in the
office, one notebook and one at home. Can you tell me how to
switch on the license server?

Where do I chnage the setting?

Do I have to deactivate and reactivate?

Do I have to reinstall?

Thanks again for your time

Ole

EULA-wise, a Per User TS CAL is dedicated to one *person*.
Technically, it isn't bound to anything, since Per User
licenses aren't managed in Windows 2003.

In Windows 2008, there will be a possibility to get a report
about the usage of your Per User licenses. And they will have
an expiration like Per Device TS CALs, with automatic release
back to the license pool.

Hi Everybody,

what exactly is a Per-User-CAL bound to? Is ist the
login-name, the Username in the Profile or something like an
ID invisible to the user?

What if an employee leaves the company? Is this type of CAL
released after a certain period of time just as the
Per-Device-CALs?

What if a Profile gets corrupt (which happens from time to
time in our environments, maybe the application is to
blame...)?

Thank you fo your time.

Ole
