Windows Small Business Server 2008 Device CAL Suite 5-pack
Five additional SBS 2008 Device CALs for accessing a SBS network. Requires Windows Small Business Server 2008 Standard.Pricing
Windows Small Business Server 2008 offers a Standard Edition and a Premium Edition. Their licensing models are similar in that they consist of a server license and incremental Client Access Licenses (CALs). You purchase CALs--SBS 2008 CAL Suite or SBS 2008 CAL Suite for Premium Users or Devices--for each user or device that is accessing the SBS network.
Microsoft offers several flexible licensing options to allow for complete scalability of your cost in relation to your usage, including various CAL quantities to suit your specific needs as well as the ability to purchase SBS 2008 CAL Suite for Premium Users or Devices for only those users or devices accessing the "premium" features.
What are the differences between user CALs and device CALs? Why are both types offered?
A user CAL permits one user (using any device) to access the server software. A device CAL permits one device (used by any user) to access the server software. Both types are offered to allow customers cost-effective licensing options. For example, per-user CALs are most effective when an employee uses several devices to access the server, such as a work computer and a home computer. Per-device CALs are most effective when several employees use the same device to access the server, such as rotating shifts in a call center.
