My organization is thinking about setting up an exchange server but I have a question about licensing. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I understand we need to eithor purchase a UserCAL for each user or a DeviceCAL for each device. &nbsp;If we buy UserCALs do we need one for each of our employees which will have an email account, or just one for each user who will be accessing the exchange server at the same time. &nbsp;For example, we may have 500 employees but no more than 100 or so would be getting their email at any given time. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
If you need one per user, the other question I had is, what happens if one user (person) has serveral email accounts? &nbsp;Our director of guidance would have her regular email account, plus guidance@xxxxx.com, do we need another CAL for that? &nbsp;Basically, i'm asking if we need a CAL for each email address.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Exchange Server Licensing

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).
