I'm reading up on MS CALs. I just realized that you even need a CAL for things like DHCP or DNS.
Yeah, which is why MS licensing (bad player) fees get to be extreme a lot of the time.
It's crazy. I had thought this whole time that things like accessing file services required CALs, but not just random guest devices that get a DHCP address. That totally changes everything. One scenario I read that claimed to need a CAL was a networked break buzzer for the shop floor. If using the per user model, you would need a user CAL for each employee on payroll. Dumb
Yeah. Just adding in DHCP means lots more CALs for something that is free almost anywhere else.

Where do I start with replacing the whole AD/DHCP/DNS stack for managing windows machines? I'm locked in to windows desktop OS for the foreseeable future, but I dont need to be dependent on them for everything else. I can see the next generation of services not using windows server in anyway, with SQL being able to be run from linux or windows 10, and something like Nextcloud running the file server.

Most places find that per user is the much cheaper way to go. Only in shops where you have huge staff but few shared computers does device license make sense. So in the case of phone connecting - it would be covered under the user's user license.

Windows 10 suffers the max 10 connections issue - just reminding you of that.

we have about 50 computer users but 200 shop employees. I dont currently have any CALs that cover the shop employees.

Device Cal's would be what you want.

No more than 10 concurrent connections (ie smb or cifs) is allowed.

He mentioned using Windows 10 to run SQL on, read the quoted bit!

You quoted the entire post. SO there was no context.

I'd have to double check, but I'm pretty sure it's just connections, i.e. not limited solely to SMB/CIFS. Though there is (or was) a technical stop for SMB/CIFS, there likely isn't for other apps running from a Windows box.

/sigh - just because you didn't read the part and see the Win10 part - well that's not my fault.
