Claims he knows nothing about what a CAL is. But also claims that he knows that he's never needed them. How he can know so little but then know so much... makes no sense. He's an IT Service Provider, but doesn't know the most basic things about using Windows.

"What exactly is a CAL?"
A reason not to use Windows.

Probably managing very small environments where he has never had more than 10 connections. I am not sure Windows Server governs CALs very closely, or at all if you dont configure it.

From my experirence with Windows Server (not using remote desktop services), there's no technical limitations regarding CALs. It's pure licensing costs (and revenue).

It doesn't govern them AT ALL. And you need CALs regardless of the size of your environment, so size doesn't matter. He claims to have used Windows Server and that means he has to know CALs (either because he directly had to buy them or he had to choose Windows Server versions that specifically allowed him to work without them.) It's that you install Windows Server is the act that requires that you be aware of CALs.

Correct, CALs are paper and it's a human requirement to be on top of them - making it that much more acute how much he wasn't doing his job as the admin.

Like with RDS Cals, its stops working if you dont add them, but with user/connection Cals for clients I dont think its enforced. More of an issue if you get audited.

That's unique to RDS, nothing like Server CALs.

Right but he is talking about user/connection CALs, which you can configure on the server to keep yourself compliant. But it wont stop you from using excess connections if you dont configure it.

Can, but if he configured them on the server, then he's have been aware of them. And that's purely a voluntary step, it's not a requirement or automated in any way. It's not even obvious that that exists. You have to go looking for it.

Best to call them Windows Server CALs. There is no connection CAL.

Right, but always felt it was odd compared to the way Microsoft enforces other licenses, Exchange is another example. Dont have them, they dont work.

Those are the ways you can license the CALs. But there are Server CALs specifically that he is talking about. Even though he doesn't know the name of them.

Yeah. I get loose with my language about CALs when I say user and device CALs.

And just found a thread where this guy is all concerned about security and his "friends" convinced him that if he used Azure that he could ignore all security when writing his application and deploying his database and that Microsoft would take care of anything. Talk about getting set up. That's full on social engineering right there.
