MULTIPLEXING OR POOLING

• A SQL CAL and Windows Server CAL are required for each distinct device

or user that is connected to the multiplexing or pooling software or

hardware front end:

• The number of tiers of hardware or software between the SQL Server and

the user or devices that ultimately use its data, services, or functionality

does not affect the number of CALs required:

• Manual transfer of data from employee to employee does not require a

CAL for the receiving employee. For example, if an employee sends a

Microsoft Office Excel® version of a report to another employee, the

receiving employee does not require a CAL (as long as the report does not

access a SQL Server in some way):
