Re: How many CALs required?
I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I can't agree with you.
I've read all of your posts during the last year in that newsgroup,
and I would say that you have received excellent advice, much more
knowledgeable than I can ever give you.
The guy who referred to the floppy only used this to forewarn you
that it could be a problem to install extra SBS2000 CALs, since
they apparantly come on a floppy disk. The fact that he warns you
about this twice only tells me that he is most likely used to blade
servers, which usually don't have a floppy drive.
That said, my guess, but it's not more than that, is:
> SBS2000 CALs = 15 (existing XP) + 10 (new XP) + 1 (2003 server)
> Windows Server CALs = would be none if the Windows Server was
running W2K. With a 2003 member server, I don't know
> Terminal Server 2003 Device CALs = one for every client which
connects to the TS. So at least 10 (for the new XPs), but maybe the
existing 15 XPs want to connect as well?
I totally agree with the advice give to you in the sbs newsgroup
and here by Hank: call your Microsoft Representative. Mixing
different products and versions makes licensing requirements
extremely complicated.
