Upgrading a Win2K Server CAL to a Win2003K SBS Server CAL?

Question

I own 40 Windows 2000 User CALs. I want to upgrade to 2003 SBS and want to know if I can bring up existing CALs with me. I'm having the hardest time determining if my existing CALs will work or if there is a path that I can upgrade them to SBS CALs. I have read that SBS CALs are different because SBS includes not only Windows 2003 Server, but also Exchange, SQL and ISA Server.

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

You can not bring the CAL's with you. They are a completely different CAL.

The SBS CAL's cover the Windows 2003 Server, Exchange, ISA, and if Premium the SQL CAL's.

Also the SBS CAL's will cover other Windows Server CAL's, if you have more than one server.
