Windows Server, SQL ,Exchange Licensing
We are setting up a medium sized company with the following servers suggested to us - Company size (~150 Users)++
Core Servers
Windows Server 2003 [x86] - File server/DHCP/Domain Controller/AD X 150 users
Windows Server 2003 with MS Exchange 2003 Standard - Mail server - X 150 users
Application and DB servers(Central Office) :
Windows Server 2003 with MSSQL Server 2008 Enterprise(Server runs a Web App in ASP and accepts direct connections to a windwos .NEt application) - X 60 Users
Windows Server 2003 with MSSQL Server 2008 Enterprise (Server hosts a Database which supports 2 windwos based applications) - X 10 users
Windows Server 2003 with MSSQL Server 2005 Standard (Server hosts the database which supports 1 Windows .NEt app) - X 30 Users
Remote Location
Windows Server 2008 Standard with MSSQL 2008 Standard (Replicates one of the above servers to a remtoe location) X 20 users
Windows Server 2003 with Exchange 2003 Standard (replicates Exchange from central location)
this is the idea for a new network setup can you please explain to me how MS licensing works?
I have gone thru the licensing details but im quite confused about Processor licensing , CALS etc etc...

Thnx for your replies:
We have :
domain server + file server running server 2008 OS
mail server (exchange 2003) running on server 2003 OS
sql server 2008 running on another server with server 2003 OS
now, if User 1 needs to access domain server to login and access shared files, the mail server to access his emails and the SQL server for some custom applications, does he need :
1 windows server 2008 CAL
+
1 windows server 2003 CAL + 1 Exchange 2003 CAL
+
1 Windows server 2003 CAL + 1 SQL 2008 CAL?

nope,
1 windows Server 2008r2 CAL
!!!!server cals downgrade (but not upgrade) so always get the newest. 1 cal is good for multiple servers.
+ 1 Exchange 2k3 CAL + 1 SQL 2008 CAL
obviously you still need 1x server 2008 LICENSE (not cal), 2x server 2003 License, 1x SQL 2008 and 1x Exchange 2003

thanks so much for all your replies.:
One last question :
Is SQL SERVER 2008 CAL downgrade apply for SQL SERVER 2005 CAL (In the same way you described above regarding Windows Server 2003 and 2008)

If we have a windows server 2003 running SQL Server 2008 what do we need?
cals for windows server + cals for SQl server? or just SQl server?
same for windows server running exchange 2003? do we need cals for windwos server and exchange or just exchange?
Do CALS expire?
