my sbs seems to have came with outlook, can i install that on all clients?

anyone know how the licensing works for the outlook that came with my sbs
2003 premium? can i install that onto 5 workstations? or do they only allow
it to be installed on the server? why would you install outlook on the
server?

 

Each Exchange CAL permits an Outlook install instance. So for each user or
device SBS CAL you can install Outlook.

 

Thank You!

 

the SBS installation procedure doesn't install Outlook on the server, it
creates what is known as an 'Administrative Installation', a place where all
the Outlook installation files are so that the install can be run
conveniently on the network.

Anyone covered by a CAL can install Outlook in order to access Exchange.
This is fundamentally an Exchange Server CAL right which SBS gets as part of
SBS CALs.

Outlook should not be installed on an Exchange server, it should not be
installed on the SBS.

 

Hi James,

You're prompted for the Outlook CD during the SBS setup. The Outlook
installation files are copied to the \clientapps directory on the SBS
server. When you join computers to the domain, the SBS wizards will install
Outlook (among other things) onto the workstation, and configure it to
connect to your exchange server.

You can install as many copies of Outlook as you have SBS CALs, user and/or
device. SBS comes with 5 CALs included, so yes - you can install onto 5
workstations.
