Hi guys,
First off, yes this is theoretical as its a college project.
Trying to get my head around client access licensing.
Iv read over Microsoft licensing page ( http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/client-access-license.aspx ) but still have a few questions.
I have 3 sites, site A has 3 server running 08 with 30 Users, and site B & C have 1 server running 08 with 10 Users.
I have 50 users with desktops and laptops, from what I have read its best to get user CALs and not device CALs as it would be doubling the price for no reason.
Now do I need to get 50 CALs for each of the servers totalling 250 CALs?
Or do I need just 1 set of 50 CALs that will allow the users to be licences to access all of the 5 server.
Hopefully that makes some sense and I'm not just rambling haha
Cheers in advance!

Also, have I totally misread everything and the CAL is just for administrators what have access to the GUI of the server OS?
