license question

[Tom]

If someone can help me in understanding microsoft CALs and licensing.

My situation is : I have windows 2000 domain with 1 win2000 server as dc
and 15 cals bought for serving 15 workstations. My license (open
license) paper is noted :win 2003 server license(1) and 2003 CALs (15) ,
upgrade advantage is expired(30.6.2007). Someone said it is downgrade
license.
Licenses are in per server mode.
We use specific application with oracle 10g database.

Now I want to buy another server with win2003 standard r2 server which
will be also DC(primary) and the old one will be standby(secondary) DC.
Also we plan to add 2 more workstation in our domain.

We want to set up application on both servers because of standby and
also plan to set up WSUS on one of the servers.We don't use Exchange.


Question is : how many CALs must we buy to make it work and how to set
up our cals?

It's best to call Microsoft directly (or call a reseller) about licensing
questions, honestly. It has become an arcane science.

Like Lanwench said call MS. Understanding the licensing issue can be interpreted as many ways as there is posters on this subject. MS will let you know exactly
