Hello,
I have currently system WinNT4 with 10 CAL and planning to buy Windows2K
server
with 25 CALs. Doesn it mean that I'll have 35CAL after that ? I hope that
BCD server
not require any licensing.
thanks

I think this question in this would answer your question as long as the
rest of the users are not using the resources of windows 2000 server it can
continue the CALs, The link bellow would answer all your questions on
licensing from NT to Windows server 2000

Q. Do I need to upgrade my current Windows NT CALs or BackOffice® CALs to
Windows 2000 CALs when I upgrade my server to Windows 2000?

A. Yes. However, customers who have purchased Windows NT Server CAL
Upgrade Advantage or Enterprise Agreements are eligible to receive upgrades
to Windows 2000 Server CALs, at no additional charge for the duration of
their agreement
