Get it in writing from them.  As long as you do that, you have nothing to worry about.   Ben Winzenz, MCSE Network/Systems Administrator Peregrine Systems   -----Original Message----- From: Leone, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 12:48 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Counting mailboxes - info from MS   So, I just got off the phone with a nice, perky young 'Softie. :-)   Here's the odd part ... I asked about the OWA coverage; she went and asked someone else. Result: if the off-site user is using a desktop system to access OWA (or Exchange, via a VPN), then YES, it needs a license. If they are using a laptop, NO, they do not need a license - since the Exchange CAL covers *both* a desktop *and* a laptop of a user.   The system mailboxes (Attendant, Free/Busy, etc) are covered under the server license, and so do not require CALs.   NAV does *not* require a CAL; the NAV for Exchange is supposed to be sold with a CAl for the user that NAV for Exchange creates.   Until somebody at MS contradicts this info, this is what I'll use to base my licensing purchases on.   -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Michael Leone, Systems Administrator Philadelphia Contributionship 210 S. 4th Street, Philadelphia, PA  19106 <mailto: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] V: 215-627-1752 x1282 F: 215-627-5354 -----Original Message----- From: Leone, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 12:30 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Counting mailboxes   I'm still not sold on this OWA licensing thing....    I'm calling MS now, and hope they know what they're talking about.
