Was not meaning to be bashing or anything like that. We have an app
(timecard app) that users access via a web interface. We were told
that we need CALs for this server for users to access the web
interface. To me that doesnât make any sense, when we already paid a
pile of money for the software, which included licensing.â
Stevo[/color]
Thatâs correct. If the timecard server is running on a Windows server,
then any user/device that connects to it (even if through a reverse
proxy) AND authenticates (ie, you have to login to the app to use it)
requires a CAL.
MS is quite clear on that and gives only two specific use cases where
thatâs not the case:

Education purposes only folks.MS licenses the core product and then USER or DEVICE cals. Server,
Exchange and SQL work the same way.For example you have a windows server for file/print, an Exchange server
and 10 workstations. (not that you would do this, just an example)the license count would be:
2x Server OS
1x Exchange Server
5x Windows Server device or User CALs
5x Exchange Device or User CALs[/color]If you have 10 workstations, wouldnât it be:
10x Windows Server device or User CALs
10x Exchange Device or User CALs[/color]
Likely no additional Win server CALs would be needed because I think all
of the server OSs come with 5 CALs. So 2 server licenses would cover the
10 workstations.

Clarification: You can remove the authentication bit. Authentication is
irrelevant to the question if you need a CAL or not. On non-Web-Editions
of Windows that is.

Not quite:
from MS own FAQ page (for non-specialty versions of Windows):
[color=blue]
If a user or device accesses a server running Windows Server but is
authenticating via a third-party authentication application
(non-Microsoft-based authentication), does the user or device still
require a Windows Server CAL?Yes, if the user or device is authenticated or otherwise individually
identified by a server running Windows Server through any other means,
it requires a Windows Server CAL. The specific Windows Server CAL
requirement is defined in the Microsoft Product Use Rights as follows:
âYou do not need CALs for any user or device that accesses your
instances of the server software only through the Internet without being
authenticated or otherwise individually identified by the server
software or through any other means.â[/color]
So authentication IS relevant in the above on non-web enabled
versions.
Their web-enabled stuff is covered under specialty licenses:
[color=blue]
I am using Windows Web Server 2008 to deploy Internet facing web
services. Is a Windows Server CAL required if access to the servers is
authenticated?No. Windows Web Server 2008 is licensed with a server license only and
no CALs are required even if the access is authenticated. However, when
Windows Web Server 2008 is used as a scale-out front end for
applications running on back end servers, Windows Server CALs may still
be required on these back end servers running Windows Server.[/color]
So authentication is irrelevant on Web-enabled versions (specialty)
versions of Windows

Hmm. Let me highlight the important part for you:

from MS own FAQ page (for non-specialty versions of Windows):[color=green]
âYou do not need CALs for any user or device that accesses your
instances of the server software only through the Internet without being
authenticated or otherwise individually identified by the server

E.G:
Access from the Internet without auth: No CAL.
Access from the Interne with authentication (regardless which): CAL
Access from a local LAN, regardless if authenticated by any means or
not: CAL.
There used to be a nice example somewhere at Microsofts site. If you use
Windows Server solely and exclusively for DHCP, you need a CAL for
every device that gets an IP from it.

I know they are out there - we wanted someone local that could
physically come into the office. ("if Steve gets hit by a bus and we
have IT issues, who do we call?) There are a lot of consultants around
here that can do that, but they only work on MS stuff.
Probably not a big deal - I have only had to contact NTS once in the
past 18yrs, and havenât been hit by a bus - so not a bad track record.
Absolutely correct. I changed the numbers above before posting and
didnât below. Crow eaten.

Yes, but you said that authentication is IRRELEVANT with non-web
versions of Windows. I was pointing out that Authentication IS relevant
for non-web versions (specialty).
In regards to DHCP the FAQ I quoted addresses that since it falls
outside of the 'Internet only ⌠or otherwise individually identified
by the server software". Since DHCP identifies via MAC address, then
you need a CAL according to the FAQ, which does coincide with what you
mention.

Yep, and that was my initial point. All of those items are in the MS
Licensing documents on their website. Sure its difficult to work through
(right, wrong, indifferent), but thatâs what we IT types have to do. If
anything, this is a great reminder of the tremendous value Novell
brings to our networks.

Be sure to run the numbers on storage cost for an Exchange environment.
Our disk space requirements went through the roof when we migrated.
Good luck.
And 3rd Party Mgmt Tools.
I recall when a previous employer migrated to AD, they ended up spending
many millions on AD and Exchange Management products that dwarfed the
cost of everything else.
