Re-allocating a CAL means deleting user/computer from AD?<br />
<br />
So any user created in AD requires a CAL?

No, with SBS 2003 you don't need to delete any users or computers from AD. It's not AD users who require CALs, but <i>actual</i> users. One actual person could have multiple AD user accounts, and will still only need one user CAL. 'tis not the same with SBS 2008, though...

A few questions on SBS 2003 CALS:<br />
1. I'm not sure if we have device or user CALs, anyway to find out?<br />
2. Does each AD user that has a mailbox require a CAL in SBS 2003?<br />
3. Are CALS concurrent, i.e. if a user (or device) isn't logged in to AD then their CAL is released?<br />
<br />
I've got 30 CALS, there are 60 users with mailboxes (some users are just for administration i.e. noreply@ etc.<br />
<br />
There are approx. 40 PC's that at some point have logged onto SBS.<br />
<br />
My licence useage is showing a max. of 28 used out of 30.<br />
<br />
Help most apprecited.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
