Per Server mode tends to be the most economical designation for Windows CALs in computing environments where a small number of servers have limited access requirements.

Client Access Licensing Requirements In previous Windows Server licensing models, Windows Client Access Licenses were automatically triggered when particular server services were invoked such as file, print, remote access, and terminal services, as well as authenticated access.

Joined Jan 17, Messages 2, Downside, it's all gone when the server reboots. There's an option to change the licensing model, but with the warning that I can only change it once. Or is it just that other licensing option? Works fine, just a bit worried about the lack of entering key-codes etc.

Failure to have the appropriate number of User CALs or Device CALs for each device or user connecting to the server is a violation of the license agreement. The following licensing changes have been made with regard to Terminal Server Client Access Licenses. With Windows Server Terminal Server licensing, if a client device is running the most recent version of the Windows desktop operating system, a TS CAL is not required to satisfy the licensing requirement.
However, with Windows Server , a TS CAL is required for each device or user using Terminal Server functionality, irrespective of which desktop operating system is running on the device. Microsoft realizes that the removal of operating system equivalency will affect customers and is committed to accommodating existing Microsoft customers who would like to take advantage of Windows Server features.

No CALs required There is one situation in which CALs are not required to access the server or a server application: when users make their connections anonymously from the Internet. For example, you don't need CALs to allow customers to anonymously access your Web site. All that is required is a single Windows Server license.
If you provide authenticated access to customers or partners, however, you do need to take licensing into account. An External Connector License allows an unlimited number of external users to access the server or server application for which the license applies. Instead, the EC is designed for customers and partners who need to access your server or application. For example, if you provide authenticated access for your customers to obtain inventory or pricing information about your products, you need an EC to legally provide that data.
If you have only a few customers or partners who access your servers, an EC will likely seem fairly expensive. In these situations, you can still purchase and use CALs to allow these users to gain access, rather than purchase the EC.
When you are evaluating the necessity for an EC, consider the cost for the appropriate number of CALs against the cost of the EC, then factor in future growth.
Keep in mind that the EC allows an unlimited number of connections, so purchasing an EC now might still be more cost effective if the number of users is relatively low now but will grow in the near future. Managing licenses Windows Server provides two tools to help you manage licensing. The first of these is the Licensing applet in the Control Panel, which allows you to manage licenses on the local server.
