Scenario is: server machine running Win Server 2003 Standard in a workgroup environment (there is no domain in our office, nor will one be set up) and approximately 20 client computers running Win98SE. Server will share a local folder accessible to all clients concurrently. That will be its only job. Is a separate CAL still required for each client computer if the server is operating in a workgroup environment?
I downloaded evalutation version from the M$ website and configured it for Per Server licensing with the standard 5 licenses. Thus far I have had at least 7 machines concurrently accessing the network share without any indication of EULA violation or problems with access. The licensing administration utility tells me I have 5 licenses installed yet 0 being used.
I know they are definitely required if the server were to be on a domain. Does the same hold true for a workgroup?
