Some time ago (I believe it was last year), I listened to a webcast put on by
Microsoft. During the Q & A, one person asked the Microsoft rep what the licensing
requirement would be for the following scenario:
5 Mailboxes all being accessed from 1 computer
His answer: 1 license because only 1 machine was used.
Which just goes to show, as had been said mb people much more experienced with
Exchange than me, that it all depends on who you talk to and that you should always
direct licensing questions to your Microsoft representative.

You need to have as many CALs (client access licenses) as you do users who
will connect. As far as I know each user must have their own CAL. Terminal
Services works the way you're suggesting, but not this.
You might not be able to buy a 5.5 CAL anymore... You may have to buy
Exchange 2000 CALs (isn't there a Exchange 2003 coming out? In that case
buy THOSE CALs), since a CAL is "backwardly compatible."

Can anyone explain how Exchange 5.5 licensing works.
If we need to have 250 users mailboxes do we need 250
licenses? Is is based on concurrent users--for example
if a company has 1000 mailboxes but at any point only
50 people are connected to the exchange server do you
only need 50 licenses?

Its a bit confusing, I am sure many of you will agree.
We definitely want to make sure we do this the right
way.

Many thanks.
