I recently took over IT for a company and I am auditing the number of CALs my company owns. I have ten 5-packs of CAL sheets. I know that SBS 2008 comes with 5 CALs. Was one of those CAL sheets included in the SBS 2008 box? Or are those initial 5 CALs just assumed and there is no CAL sheet for them?
Asked another way, do I have 50 CALs (10 x 5-packs) or 55 CALs (10 x 5-packs + 5 initial)?
Those are assumed. Like you I'm not sure if there is a sheet that comes in the SBS software box (most of my servers come preloaded from Dell or HP with no box), but by virtue of having an activated license key for the SBS product you get 5 CALs. If you were to get audited they should not need to see an additional license sheet for the 5 SBS CALs that were included. Total CALs = 55.
