Hi<br />
<br />
I am a little confuesed. Hopefully someone can shed some light for me. &nbsp;I'm trying to spec up a server upgrade. &nbsp;Basically we need Windows 2003 Server running Exchange 2003. &nbsp;The windows 2003 box will be a pure Exchange box. &nbsp;No file shares etc. &nbsp;To I need to purchase Windows 2003 Server CALs along with Exchange 2003 CALs?<br />
<br />
Also if the answer is that I only need to purchase the exchange licence would I then need to purchase the Windows 2003 Server CAL if I used Sharepoint Services on the server at a later point?<br />
<br />
Thanks in Advance for info

How to Licence Windows 2003 Server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
