Licensing: MDM 2008 is licensed on a Server plus Client Access License (CAL) basis. A server license and minimum of 5 CALs is required. A Device CAL permits one device (used by any user) to access or use the software. Device CALs are likely to be more cost-effective than User CALs if there are multiple users per device (for example, a call center or an airport kiosk). This license comes with Microsoft's maintenance program, Software Assurance (SA).
