How many cals do i need?

Let say i have 300 active directory accounts but only 100 physical users (with heartbeats), how many CALs do i need per user CAl licensing? Also, if i have 300 emails accounts in exchange 2010 but only 100 physical users, how many exchange CALS do
i need? And if 5 users leave the company, does the CALS be free up for the next employees?
Based on my research, i need 100 AD CALS and 100 exchange CALs but i getting conflicting information. Can someone who knows licensing really well confirmed this?
Thank you.

Hi My3cents,
Sorry for the delay reply.

How many CALs do i need? Server 2012 - Exchange 2013 - RDP

Hi,
(I apologize for the grammar and spelling mistakes, but im confident in the fact that the text is understandable. If not, please let me know. I have used UK English for spelling.)
I did some research and read the following:
(unable to post links, my email needs to be 'verified')
And some MS pages regarding the CALs for Windows 2008 R2 (don't ask why).
This is basically what i want to do:
OS:
Windows 2012 R2, possibly 2x because of the RDS role.
Roles Server1: Active Directory and Exchange 2013
Roles Server2: File server and RDS
Users:
20
PC’s:
Approx. 15. Not sure about the exact numbers, but i am sure that there are more users than client pc’s.
Users RDP:
Starting with 10 but eventually every user will be using RDP, so it might be also 20. The 10 we start with will not have the ability of logging into a client PC but RDP only.
MS Software:    Outlook 2010 or 2013, depends on the support by MS.
We are going to start with an AD with a home folder, roaming profiles and an email account. If everything go’s whell, we plan to start letting users connect tot heir workspace via RDP.
I came to the following conclusion and need your input on this:
20 User CALs, As far as i know, I need 1 user cal for an AD account and a RDP cal for
one RDP account. Without a User CAL, i cant issue a RDP user cal, is this correct?
20 RDP User CALs, does this mean that all my users can log into a RDS session via any client, even their own private pc?
No Device calls, redundant?
20 Exchange CALs, I am not sure about this one, the second link i found only mentions acces via web and mobile. I would also like to know if the Exchange CAL is per user or email. If it’s per user, then wat do i do with an email that is meant for multiple
users?
2 Server CALs, This is just buying 2012R2 isnt it? Does this also allow me to use one physically and the other as a VM in the physical one? Just asking, im not really going to use a VM.
Hope you guys can help me out on this one, i didn’t expect the CALs would bet his complicated.

Hi,
Under Per User licensing, you need a license for each unique human that will access the software. Based on what you have written above, below is a general description of the licenses you need:
20 Per User Windows Server CALs
20 Per User RDS CALs
20 Per User Exchange Standard CALs
1 Exchange Server 2013 Standard license
2 Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard licenses
Notes:
Each Server 2012 R2 Standard license allows you to install it on a physical server (up to 2 CPU sockets) with the Hyper-V role installed, and install it in 2 VMs. The key here from a licensing perspective is the installation on the physical server
is only being used for Hyper-V--if you use it for some other purpose (like AD, SQL, etc.) then you are only permitted to run 2012 R2 on 1 VM without an additional license. Running your servers as VMs is the common and recommended method now, unless
you have a specific reason not to.
I listed two 2012 R2 licenses above because from your description I get the idea that you will have 2 physical servers.
It is preferred to split key roles/functions onto separate VMs if possible. For example, it would be preferred to have Exchange on its own VM(s). This is obviously subject to your specific situation, budget, etc. In smaller environments
some roles will be combined in order to save money.
I did not include licenses for Office in the list above.
Yes, Per User licensing means the user can access the software from any device, even their own private pc.
I recommend you purchase licenses through a MS volume licensing program that fits your needs. Adding Software Assurance (SA) to your licenses will allow you to get the new versions when they are released as well as give some additional licensing rights.
As always, it is essential to read the Product Use Rights (PUR) document, licensing agreements, terms and conditions, etc., as applicable to your licenses.
I recommend you also take a look at the Office365 plans that include Office/Exchange/etc. There are Exchange-only plans as well. Depending on your needs it may be preferred to have your users access Exchange in the cloud and run RDS on premises.

Project Server 2010 how many CAL licenses do I need?

Hey Guys,
We have Project Server 2010 running for two years now.
We are preparing for the true-up yearly exercise with Microsoft to count the nbr of CAL licenses we need.
As Project Server admin I have been asked to provide an access log of the users accesing Project Server.
Is there a way to know how many users are accessing Project Server so we know how many CAL we need?
I alreayd read the project server 2010 licensing guide (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/8/8/F88B3241-3E27-4BDD-8A01-ABF2422FB31C/Project%202010%20Licensing%20-%20Licensing%20Guide.pdf)
but it does not help me in this case.
Thanks in advance

You could try calling Apple and ask for Customer Relations.
From Readers Digest-February, 2005
How to Complain
You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
Have a goal
If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
Keep it short
Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
Stick with it
You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
Skip ultimatums
Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
Plead your case
Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
Be nice
You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
Good luck.

ISCSI MPIO, how many path do I need to create

Hi,
I've a server with 4 NIC connection to a DELL MD32xx which have 8 NIC.
My question is how many path do I need to create under iSCSI connection.
Do I need to create a path from each Server NIC to each MD32xx NIC, which will make 32 connection (and doesn't make sense).
If not, how should I proceed, I've looked at many example and none seem to cover that kind of situation, they just directly connect the server NIC to the MD32xx NIC instead of going through switch for redundancy.
Thank
ML

HT1222 How many GB do I need to download video

How many GB do I need to download video

It depends on the size of the movie, the capacity of your iPad and how much space you have left, so you need enough to hold whatever the size of the video is and still leave about 10% of your total storage space available.
Most Movies are at least 2GB. I have seen some that are over 6GB.

The description in the iTunes Store gives the size of the movie. If you are acquiring it from elsewhere, the information should be available.

Then update using iTunes on your computer. You'll be fine & you don't have to delete anything. You only need that much free space if you update OTA. Once the update is done, you get the space back. So, use your computer.

How many servers are generally needed to a medium size HFM project

Hi,
I am new to HFM.Can any one help me that How many servers are generally needed to a medium size HFM project? And details that servers are for what segments?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can use one serwer only for everything (provided that you use classic application).
Number of servers depends on the number of planned applications, the number of users, number of entities, number of accounts, the amount of calculation...

How many channels should i need for my 10 pieces of thermocouple?

1.i need test 10 pieces of thermocouples at one time,so how many channels do i need? are 8 channels enough(SCXI-1112) of i must use 32 channel(SCXI-1102)?
2.I only need test 3 LVDT signals and 3 strain guage signal(must full bridge),do you have 4 channels' LVDT module and 4 channels' Strain/bridge module(full bridge)?
3.if i hug all these sensors to the signal conditioning,does that mean my DAQ should have at least 16 Analog inputs,beside do you have 12-bit DAQ?

dittoit,
1. If you need to measure 10 thermocouples, then you will need at least that many differential channels. So the 1102 would be best.
2. The current LVDT module we offer is the 1540 which has 8 Channels as does the 1520 which is the best strain gauge module.
3. The measurements from the SCXI Chassis will normally be multiplexed to one channel on the DAQ card. Any of our E-Series (except the Basic DAQ) will control. Our E-Series card can be either 12-bit or 16-bit.

CSS with SSL module - how many certs do we need

Hello,
currently moving from server-based certs to CSS/SSL based.
We have two sites, two CSS/SSL on each in ASR mode.
There are two real servers behind each SSL rule for load balancing.
The question becomes how many certificates do we need
for such design ?
For sure we need one per site, then on each site we have Active/Standby CSS's.
Do we need separate certificate for each CSS?
I dont think so, cause only one is active at the time.
I tested it with same certificate on both CSS's on one site, no problem.
The question is will it be ok for production ?
So total number would be 2 cert for such design (one per VIP) if we have one SSL rule per site, and 4 if we have 2 SSL rule per site - is it ok ?
Thank you,
Alex

the certificate is linked to a host name ie: www.mycompany.com.
So, if you have 4 css, all handling traffic for www.mycompany.com, then they can all share the same certificate.
Even if you have the 4 CSS split over 2 sites, using different vip, as long as they handle the same hostname, then they can share the certificate.
Actually, the CSS itself does not care about hostname/certificate mapping.
The CSS will use whatever certificate you configure it to use.
However, browsers make a check url <-> certificate and if there is a mismatch, they pop up an error message.
Regards,
Gilles.

How many ports do I need to open for Java InfoView? - CR Server 2008 v1

Hi,
We are using Crystal Reports 2008 V1 (BuildVersion=12.1.0.114.CRS2008_V1). CMS runs on Oracle 10g. The product I need help for is InfoView.
The report server is behind a firewall. I would like to know how many ports do I need to open and what they are so that I can access to InfoView (Java Version) from internet.
The client's IT blocks all ports, except HTTP 80 and HTTPS 443. Is it possible to configure InfoView to run on port 443? Would one port be enough? Port 80 is being used by another application.
I would appreciate any light to be shed on this issue.
Thanks,
Sinan

InfoView will just need a single port. However CR Server 2008 has additional component who interact. I believe that CR Server 2008 doesn't allow a distributed installation so then the only port that should be opened on the firewall is to reach the web application and from the application server towards the database server hosting the CMS database.
Hope this helps...
