Windows Small Business Server 2008 offers a Standard Edition and a Premium Edition. Their licensing models are similar in that they consist of a server license and incremental Client Access Licenses (CALs). You purchase CALs—SBS 2008 CAL Suite or SBS 2008 CAL Suite for Premium Users or Devices—for each user or device that is accessing the SBS network.
Microsoft offers several flexible licensing options to allow for complete scalability of your cost in relation to your usage, including various CAL quantities to suit your specific needs as well as the ability to purchase SBS 2008 CAL Suite for Premium Users or Devices for only those users or devices accessing the “premium” features.
