Yes. That's the whole point.
Server license + CAL's for each user or device.
If you choose user, then you need to make sure each user in your
organization is given a unique login account to prevent confusion.

The good news is that you don't need to buy CAL's for each server
separately. IE: 100 users with 2 servers requires 100CAL's not 200 (100
users for each server). Once that user or device has a CAL they can
connect to any Windows server at the version of the CAL or lower. So
buy the most recent version CAL (2003). I think they removed the
windows 2000 CALs from sale but if not make sure you always buy the
latest version even if you are using older servers.

Can you have one generic account that people use - mainly to just term serv
in to look at generally accessible documents - so as not to burn too many
cals for casual users?
