Disclaimer: This is only opinion. I would argue vehemently. It is my understanding, one CAL per user/mailbox. No CAL's for resource boxes.
The employee does not access from home and from the office at the same time. Or, if that is the case, the server running OWA is the only 'computer' accessing the exchange server. You could write an asp app (your home grown OWA clone) and use CDO to access mailboxes from another computer. Based on that, you could have everyone use this asp app and then only require ONE exchange CAL. William -----Original Message----- From: Ropiak Steve - NAO Florence Office Exchange and Bar Code Admn. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 10:41 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OWA usage We had this discussion with Corpsoft shortly before a threatened audit by Microsoft and their position on Exchange licensing is that you don't need a CAL for every user, but every computer that accesses 5.5 Exchange. Hence, if 3 people share one computer, only 1 CAL required. That being the case, if this guy accesses Exchange from work, then goes home and does OWA at night he should need 2 CAL's as there are 2 computers accessing the system.

You need a CAL for every person that is accessing the Exchange server. That CAL encompasses, regular old connections, POP, IMAP, or OWA. -----Original Message----- From: Ropiak Steve - NAO Florence Office Exchange and Bar Code Admn.

Just buy two CAL's for every user, one for work, one for home? mit freundlichen Grüßen,(Best Regards), Steve Ropiak ZF Group NAO CERT, Exchange and Bar Code Administrator (207) 989-9115 voice (207) 989-8722 fax (513) 317-0197 cell [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 1:27 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OWA usage If they don't have a mailbox, they cant get in.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 10:26 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: OWA usage OK, got the bad news from Microsoft. Every home user who accesses OWA from their home PC needs a CAL for my Exchange 5.5 OWA. Problem is, how can I stop those folks that we don't have a CAL for from getting in? In theory, everyone who has a home computer could use it, but probably few do. Any one got any ideas on how to monitor / control it? mit freundlichen Grüßen,(Best Regards), Steve Ropiak ZF Group NAO CERT, Exchange and Bar Code Administrator (207) 989-9115 voice (207) 989-8722 fax (513) 317-0197 cell [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
