Nah - that was a vague reference to an old conversation we had with Tim where he went off on the "if you're reading this" nonsense. It was supposed to illustrate Tim smacking me mid-sentence... ..oh well... :) Jim From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Thomas W Shinder Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2008 8:18 AM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isalist] Re: licensing requirements for VPN users... Sorry about that. When switching over to FiOS I forgot to whack the smart host settings on Exchange. :) Thomas W Shinder, M.D. Site: www.isaserver.org<http://www.isaserver.org/> Blog: http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/ Book: http://tinyurl.com/3xqb7 MVP -- Microsoft Firewalls (ISA) From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Harrison Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2008 10:01 AM To: 'isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [isalist] Re: licensing requirements for VPN users...

ISA is licensed per CPU socket. It doesn't "count user beans" and so doesn't impose that restriction. You should start here; http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/default.mspx to sort out the Windows and SQL licensing questions.

I've got a client that wants me to setup connectivity for 20 users via VPN for access to a private SQL2k5 Server. What are the licensing requirements involved? For the OS, SQL, and ISA? Do I need individual client access licenses? Clients are XP and Vista and will be connecting directly to a ISA2k6 Server. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. -Paul
