Yep! I hate the CAL idea.
With Exchange its a real pain, each mailbox is a separate CAL. SQL I believe ships with 5 CALs per Server (1 Processor). I recently found out you need CAL's for Windows 2000 Server also. So if you have a Domain controller with Exchange and SQL on it serving 40 domain users some with multiple mailbox's and 2 CF servers plus 2 DBA's and and and..... Twice at Sprint I called Microsoft about Licensing and got 2 different answers. I was told that I did not need a license for development servers by one, and told I did by another. So they don't even know. Then later told by an "MCSE" that I don't need a license for development as long as it was from the TechNet Library sent out to MCSE's. I just wish they would cut out all the legal garbage and tell us exactly point blank what it is. But until then I am going with this Development Servers No Licensing. SQL Server License for processors SQL Cal 1 for each CF server, 1 for each DBA Win2K WEB server 1 for each processor, 1 CAL for IIS cover all users because they only connect through a web browser. 1 CALL for each Administrator, user or backup operator. Does CF require a CAL? I am probably wrong on this but that's what they said (one time or another) Rick -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Garza [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 4:43 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Stupid Stupid SQL server question Yes. That would be the treatment that I was alluding to. Anyone else feel bent over and rode hard by Microsoft's new licensing policies?
