License confusion. SBS2003 and 2003 enterprise server.

I live in the states will they be able to help me?

cheers!

I really hate to correct you all, but you DON'T have to buy additional CALs for additional Windows Servers on the network.  They are already covered!

Please see this SBS blog post regarding the issue:

Thanks, but we were not refering to sbs r2.  the old rules still apply for regular sbs 2003...

so no reason to hate...  8oP

This definitely falls under Simon's three rules of software licensing...

Simon.

I didn't say that you WERE referring to R2.  The blog post that I referred you to describes BOTH.  Please review it again.

And Sembee... while I defer to you on many items... I disagree about your Rule #3.  Usually the most expensive option is a mistake made by someone misinterpreting licensing.

I talked to a Microsoft rep today and he said that the SBS 2003 R2 model of the license is the only one that covers any other type of server.

I can ony assume that he knew what he was talking about...unless he was lying...

Thanks for all your input!

I do see where the blog mentions that you are covered by the regular 2003 sbs cals for the other member servers.  just fyi I know you wernt making it up.

He wasn't lying, he just misunderstood the facts.
