That statement is patently false. Call them back and tell them I said "liar-liar-pants-on-fire" (or your choose favorite infantile response). Whomever you spoke to "at Microsoft" hasn't a clue how ISA functions. ISA neither knows nor cares about the CAL for the underlying OS and the OS is completely ignorant of the ISA connections (among other things). Client connections through ISA DO NOT have any association with per-user licensing that is enforced by the OS for connections handled by Windows services. The MSDN license only limits you to using those bits for testing and dev work, not the number of clients that can access ISA.

You might want to confirm this though. -----Original Message----- From: Rascher William [mailto:wrascher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 4:50 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Licensing http://www.ISAserver.org Does anyone know what happens with ISA (and any http connections) when the concurrent licensed connections is exceeded?
