Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Client Access License Per User
This is for corporations who only want to order about five or less licenses.
[quote]With the release of Windows Server 2003, there are two types of Windows CALs to choose from, device-based or user-based, known as Windows Device CALs or Windows User CALs. This means you can choose to acquire a Windows CAL for every Device (used by any user) accessing your servers, or you can choose to acquire a Windows CAL for every Named User accessing your servers (from any device).

Ok, thank you!

So I guess what what I need to get then is Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Client Access License Per Device, right? Because here is the scoop, I have the software, but I need a key to activate it. So I guess that is what I would need to get.
