You vendor would be wrong per the link Cameron sent. On the page for Windows Server:
Ø The Windows CALs you acquire are designated for use exclusively with a particular server. What would be good is applications such as AV to internally schedule groups of clients for updates. That way if you had 1000 seats needing AV updates, the server would allow 50 or 100 at a time, whatever number makes sense for you. Then your CAL requirement could be lessened and it would be a marketable feature for the AV product. -- Mike Gill From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 5:52 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Licensing question My understanding is that you have to have enough Windows Server CALs for everyone on your network, and that CALs float between servers. At least thats what our vendor told us when we went to Active Directory last year. John-AldrichTile-Tools From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 5:51 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Licensing question Does every server have to have CALs for everyone in your organization? For instance, if I have a server that I use for network tools, for the most part, do I have to have CALS for everyone, or just the people that would be accessing it? I can see the file server having the most CALs, as everyone touches it for their files, but what about my AV server? Only a handful of people directly access it. Or my webfilter server, only a handful of people access it.
