We have MS SBS 2000 and 50 CALS, just bought the upgrade to SBS2003
Premium. I am hoping to do the upgrade next weekend, but every place I
called said they do not have the CAL Upgrade licenses because microsoft
hasn't shipped it yet. Has anyone upgraded yet and if so where did you get
the licenses?

Thanks,
Douglas

I got mine from Insight. You're right that no one seems to know anything
about these, but they are definitely available. I'd advise getting the
exact SKU you're looking for from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/howtobuy/pricing.mspx.
Trying to order with the SKU will help. Then you can check
shopper.cnet.com - again search on the SKU. Or try www.insight.com - if you
don't find them on the site, call and ask a rep.

Do you have the SKU for the one you bought from Insight?

It depends if you want 5 or 20, device or user. I got user CALs, but that
doesn't mean that's the right choice for you. Here are the SKU's from the
SBS site:

5: Device: T74-01214 User: T74-01215

20: Device: T74-01212 User: T74-01213

What is weird is that CDW and Insight don't show that they do not have the
Device CALS for upgrade, they said that Microsoft hasn't shipped them out
yet.

I guess I will just wait.

Just to side track slightly we have just placed an order for the premium
edition using Software Assurance. When we bought 2000 we also purchased 2 x
5 client licences also with SA. Insight have said we don't need any extra
licences for 2003. Is this so?
