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.
