Are Windows Small Business Server 2003 CALs (whether per user or per device) by concurrent connections?
A. No, CALs are per user or per device. They are not concurrent. Harry’s Viewpoint: You can never use the word “concurrent” in the context of SBS 2003 licensing. This means the CALs are assigned to a specific user or a specific device. This point is the result of my being misquoted in one of Brian Livingston’s popular Windows columns (www.briansbuzz.com). I was quickly corrected by Microsoft’s PR agency, Wagner Edstrom, and I’ve since removed the word “concurrent” from my vocabulary.
