With Windows Small Business Server 2003, use of server services does not activate Client Access Licenses (CALs). Instead, businesses choose how CALs will be used based on how the server needs to be accessed on a regular basis. Both editions of Windows Small Business Server 2003 offer two types of CALs to choose from device-based (Device CALs) or user-based (User CALs) options. These options give you the flexibility to choose the CAL that best suits your organization. Please check the product name to determine which type of CAL is provided by this product.
Device CALs With device CALs, you acquire a CAL for every device - such as laptops, desktop computers and Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs and Smartphones - that needs access to your server. With this option, any user can access the server on the licensed device. Device CALs might make the most economic and administrative sense for an organization that has multiple users for one device, such as shift workers. If you choose device CALs, then each device that accesses the Windows Small Business Server 2003 server will consume a CAL, and you can reallocate that CAL if you retire a device. User CALs
With user CALs, you acquire a CAL for individuals who are given named access to your server. Licensed users can access the server from any device. User CALs might make the most sense for an organization that has many roaming employees who need access to the corporate network from mobile devices or employees who use multiple devices to access the network. You can reallocate a user CAL if a reassignment is permanent. You can also temporarily reassign a user CAL if the user is on leave or the device is disabled.
System Requirements: Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard and Premium Editions support client devices running Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 Professional operating systems.
