10. Determining Which Licensing Mode to Select Per Seat Licensing Each Client Requires a CAL CAL Per Server Licensing Each Connection Requires a CAL CAL

11. Per Server licensing : In contrast, Per Server licensing means that each concurrent connection to this server requires a separate CAL. In other words, this server can support a fixed number of connections at any one time. For example, if you select the Per Server client licensing mode with five licenses, this server can have five concurrent connections. (If each client requires one connection, this is five clients at any one time.) The clients using the connections do not need any additional licenses. The Per Server licensing mode is often preferred by small companies with only one server. It's also useful for Internet or remote access servers. You can specify a maximum number of concurrent server connections and reject any additional logon requests..

12. Per Device or Per User and Per seat licensing If you choose the Per Device or Per User mode, each computer or user that accesses a server running a product in the Windows Server 2000 family requires a separate CAL. With one CAL, a particular client computer can connect to any number of servers running products in the Windows Server 2000 family. This is the most commonly used licensing method for companies with more than one server running products in the Windows Server 2000 famil
