Hi all,

I am taking the Windows 2003 Std edition for our one of the database as well as Domain controller server & i have the 50 users which are going to access this server daily for data
so i wanted to know CAL (Client accessing License) is needful for us by default win2K3 std will come with 5CAL and extra CAL cost is near about 1400 Rs.
so is it necessary to get 50 CAL's more or Windows 2003Std with 5CAL will do?

Awaiting for your valuable suggetion.

If any more that 5 clients are going to be useing the server at any one time you will require the additional CALS. If the 50 or so clients are going to be using at the same time you will require the additional 45 licenses (I think you can bulk buy 50 CALS for a reduced price)

and it is good to have a few in reserve, so if you need 50, buy 50 and have the 5 in reserve.

From past experience though I think that you'll find the 50 Pack of CALS's cheaper than 2 X 20 & 1 X 5 CAL Packs.
