owners are searching for simpler, less expensive
ways to run their businesses and to increase their
return on information technology (IT) investment.
They rarely have dedicated on-site IT
professionals or administrators to run their
networks; however, they may use technology
providers to acquire IT solutions. These
technology providers need to find more
cost-effective ways to provide support to their
customers.

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions
answered:
Q. What is the
difference between a Windows Server 2003 license
and a Windows CAL? Why do I need both?
A. The Windows
Server 2003 license gives the license holder the
right to install and use the server software. The
Windows CAL grants the right for a device or user
to access the server software. The two-component
license provides a low entry price and a way to
pay for capacity used: the more devices or users
accessing the server software, the greater the
license fees or price. The model therefore offers
license affordability to organizations of all
sizes.
Q.
What is
the difference between a Device CAL and a User
CAL?
A. A Windows
Device CAL permits one device (used by any user)
to access or use the server software. A Windows
User CAL permits one user (using any device) to
access or use the server software; the same holds
true for TS Device CALs and TS User CALs.
Q. Can I use
a Terminal Server Device CAL (TS Device CAL) and a
Terminal Server User CAL (TS User CAL) on the same
terminal server?
A.
Yes. TS Device and User CALs can be used on the
same server.
For ease of management and tracking though,
Microsoft recommends that customers choose to
acquire CALs on either a device or user basis.
