Windows Server Standard 2008 5 User CAL License (no media, License only) - OEM

Pros: Compliance with licensing structure.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Keep them in the safe, that's where i have my clients keep their's..

Pros: none

Cons: Windows would not validate this licence so it's waste of money.

Pros: It's easy with 2008 server, you don't have to do anything, just keep them handy in case the BSA contacts you about an audit

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: In case someone is confused by these, you need one cal per user and with 2008, there is no need to add them, just keep them in a safe place.

Pros: Always best to have legit licenses for your software, especially in a business environment.

Cons: Confusing pre-purchase documentation on what exactly CALs are and how they are used.

Other Thoughts: As the other reviewer mentioned, these are just client licenses. They let the client computers on your network legitimately connect to your existing Windows 2008 Server. The really confusing part is that there is no technical implementation of these licenses within the software. That is, you don't install them, or enter any key codes, or do anything else with them. What you receive is just documentation that you've paid for a certain number of computers to use your Windows 2008 network. Don't waste time trying to figure out how how to install them once you have them, as they don't get installed.

Pros: It's a small number of client licenses, if you don't need to purchase a bulk amount.

Cons: The title may be misleading make sure you understand that this IS NOT a Windows Server 2008 product key, it's strickly 5 Client Licenses. (allows 5 more windows users to connect to your Active Directory Infrastructure).
