This question has been asked over and over again.
So when and where do you need to have CALs?
Examples:
You need a Cal license for each computer you want to connect to a domain controller.
If you have a primary and a secondary domain controller, do you need to have only enough cals for one Server OS, or for 50 users do you need 50 Cals per Server OS? Does a CAL port to all the servers in the domain or is it locked and usable for only that one machine?
How is this cost effective?
If you have a Domain Controller DNS/DHCP Server, a file server, a exchange server which machine needs cals?
If you have 50 users, how many cals do you need in this instance?
If you have a V-Hypervisor 2008 Server, do you need cals for that?
Are cals treated differently in different server editions?
