Hi,

This is a fairly simple licensing question that has me confused.

We have 3 servers: SERVER1,SERVER2,SERVER3 running on Windows Server 2003.

We have 25 users.

Do I need to buy 75 user licenses for the users to access all the servers or can I get by with 25?

If I then upgrade 1 server to Windows Server 2008, do I need to buy a new set of user licenses. If I then upgrade the other 2, do I then need to buy 2 more sets of user licenses?

Sorry for the confusion!
