When buying a full version of Windows 2000 or 2003 does it come with any CALS
or does the buyer always have to buy additional CALS. For example when
building a server on the Dell site you buy the full version of the OS then
below you buy additional licenses. Does that mean if you buy just the OS no
clients are supposed to connect with out additional licenses. I'm trying to
buy a new server for my business and the license issues are a little
overwhelming. Thanks.

Many times the OS will come with stated number of CAL's - such as
Windows 2003 Server Standard + 5 CALS. It doesn't have to come with any.

Just ask your Dell rep to provide as many as you need - and then double
check it twice. I ordered about 1.3 million in servers from Dell over
the last 12 months and have yet to get exactly what I ordered the first
time.
