Note that the text you included from the page was listed under the “Per Server” 
mode for CAL assignment.  The “floating” comment was probably referring to “Per 
User or Device” mode.

You vendor would be wrong per the link Cameron sent. On the page for Windows 
Server:

➢ 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.
