Trying to Understand Microsoft Licensing…
Can make your head explode.
How many client access licenses are needed? User or device CALs? Are there fries with that?
Argh.
It reminds me of a conversation we had last night about how absurd it is to tax income, and how complicated and excessive the tax code and variety of taxes are. I pointed out that all I have to do to know something is wrong with 15% just for Social Security is to remember that the amount I perceive as appropriate for a flat tax rate for everything is maybe 15%. But I digress.
What’s really annoying about this whole buying and licensing server software thing is they’re going to make me have to speak to an actual sales person. I hate it when that happens.
