Below is what my Dell Licensing guy told me.
From Dell:
You don't need a CAL for the remote OWA access, though if the user has
a machine that they are pulling data down to their Outlook directly
off of the server then they would need a CAL.

This is my major complaint is that I have people who travel and they like
going into a local library of internet caf� and getting their emails, fax,
and voice mails via the net. When my boss was in Europe last year he must
have used 8 different machines. The way I got around it is that I only
give a CAL to a machine while it is in use. Once it is no longer in use and
not located on a laptop or on site for 24 hours the CAL is revoked. At least
that is what is says in my exchange procedure manual and DR plan.
Do not quote me and I am not a lawyer but a senior MS local office person
told me that what I am doing is within the scope of the CAL. As long as it
is a written procedure.

Yes, but if each of those users has multiple computers they use to OWA into
your system you licensing is still out of control. What I was thinking I'd
need is some way to monitor (or perhaps lock out) usage by IP address or MAC
address so I'd have some way of demonstrating how many computers are
accessing OWA when the guys with the big red "M" on their chest show up at
my door.

We have a global OWAUsers group and only
members of that group can access their email
via OWA. Since the number of OWA users is
less than the number of Non-OWA users this is
not too hard to maintain.

OK, got the bad news from Microsoft. Every
home user who accesses OWA from
their home PC needs a CAL for my Exchange
5.5 OWA. Problem is, how can I
stop those folks that we don't have a CAL for
from getting in? In theory,
everyone who has a home computer could use
it, but probably few do. Any one
got any ideas on how to monitor / control it?
