�The license to install & run software on a particular server
Client Access License (CAL)
�The license for each client computer accessing a
Microsoft server product
�
SoftChoice:� Now, there are a few
different types of licenses.� For
instance, servers are licensed a little differently.� (talk server license and CAL).
Microsoft
interjects:� �Hey, hold on a
minute.� I think some of the people
here might have a question about this.�
Is that CAL another piece of software I have to load?�
�
SoftChoice:� No�explain.� Then use gym membership analogy to talk
CAL/server diagram
�
Microsoft: At end of gym analogy say, �OK let me see if I have this
right.� If I�m a business owner and I
want my staff to have email and I want to get Exchange; I would purchase an
Exchange license for my server.� Then,
for each of my employees who want to access their email from that server,
their client machines need a CAL.�
Does that make sense to everyone?�
