CALS:
Authorize more users to access your Windows Server 2003! Now you have the choice of licensing users or devices.

A User client will cover a particular user's access to the server software from work PCs and laptops, as well as from home PCs, PDAs, Internet kiosks, and other devices.

A Device client will cover multiple users' access to Windows Server software from a single, shared device.

Per-User vs. per-Device: purchasing a Windows User client might make more sense if your company has a need for employees to have roaming access using multiple devices. Windows Device clients may make more sense if your company has multiple-shift workers who share devices. Note: Client Access Licenses must have the same or a later version number than the corresponding version number of the Server Software being used.

In Per User or Per Device mode, a separate CAL is required for each user or device that accesses or uses the Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 software on any server. You may reassign a Windows CAL from one device to another device, or from one user to another user, provided the reassignment is made either (a) permanently away from the one device or user or (b) temporarily to accommodate the use of the Windows CAL either by a loaner device, while a permanent device is out of service, or by a temporary worker, while a regular employee is absent. By having two types of Windows CALs, you are able to use the model that makes sense for your organization. For example, purchasing a Windows User CAL might make more sense if your company has a need for employees to have roaming access using multiple devices. Windows Device CALs may make more sense if your company has multiple-shift workers who share devices.
