Windows Server 2008 Client Access Licensing

Relevant portion:

Every user or device that accesses or uses the Windows Server 2008 server software requires the purchase of a Windows Server 2008 Client Access License (Windows Server CAL) except under the following circumstances:

  • If access to the instances of server software is only through the Internet without being authenticated or otherwise individually identified by the server software or through any other means
  • If access is to Windows Web Server 2008
  • If external users are accessing the instances of server software and you have acquired a Windows Server 2008 External Connector license for each server being accessed
  • For up to two devices or users to access your instances of the server software only to administer those instances
  • If you are using Windows Server 2008 solely as a virtualization host (you will still require CALs for your appropriate WS edition)
