For legality purposes, you must have the proper CAL purchased for each device or client that you intend to access the servers. &nbsp;The server will function without them, though.

I am using Action Pack licences (windows &amp;&nbsp;exchange) while this is in the 'testing phase'. <br />
<br />
Do I need to purchase the client / device CALs before I test or when testing is complete?<br />
<br />

I believe Action Pack includes 10 CALs for most products.

So in a 'test environment', if I exceed 10 clients everything will still work but will not be legal.<br />
<br />
Is that correct?

Quick question:<br />
<br />
I've built a new network which includes several windows server 2008 VMs and exchange 2010.<br />
<br />
On my test bench everything seems to work okay, 2 test clients can join the domain and can send and receive emails.<br />
<br />
The thing is, I haven't (as yet) installed any device / user CALs.<br />
<br />
I'm implementing this network tomorrow on a test basis in an environment of 20 users. &nbsp;Will it work or do I need to get device / user CALs??<br />

Windows Server and Exchange CALs

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
