    Hi guys,

    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to check the number of CALS bought Vs currently in use on server 2003 ? Is there any tool available that can be installed on the server & then over say the course of a day enumerate how many are used & unused ?

    You can phone microsoft and ask but this can sometimes bring on an Audit which if your not ready for can cost you a lot of money.

    I recently had one and we didnt know how badly uncompliant we were. Thankfully we're not sorted but it cost us nearly 12k in licencing.

    Use the application snap-in called "Licensing" from Administrative tools.
    The service that controls that is disabled per default on Windows 2003, so you need to enable and start if that is the case. It is called "License logging service".

    Once you have it running for a couple of days, you will be able to tell how many users or devices are actually this server.
    Then compare to you Volume/Open licensing site that you should have access to.
