Re: new server and licenses question

You only need premium CALs for the users who need SQL access. All others are
fine with SBS Standard CALs. So, you'll need 10 SBS Premium CALs (5
included, plus 5 additional), and 11 Standard CALs. (You can buy single CALs
now, by the way.)

Yes, Premium comes with a Windows Server 2008 Standard license for a second
server. You won't need anything there.
