This certainly could have changed, since Microsoft is famouse for altering their licensing arrangements. At the time I bought CALs, we had to purchase them one per user.
If MS really has made this change, then this is definitely a good thing.

It is now a CAL per "device" that connects. So if a person at one computer opens 5 mailboxes in Outlook it is only 1 CAL. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chinnery, Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 12:31 PM Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 Licensing 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.

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." Matt -----Original Message----- From: Stew Leonard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 8:55 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 5.5 Licensing 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. Stew __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
