<p>When using Server 2003/2008 do I need User CALS or Device CALS?  If so, how do I determine how many of each I need?</p>

I hope this helps to answer your questions about what CAL to use. This is a tough question to answer with out knowing more about your setup that you are trying to do...but here are the differences between them and why you might want to use one over the other.

Note: In most companies you will find that they use the user CAL's

With the User CAL, you purchase a CAL for every user who accesses the server to use services such as file storage or printing, regardless of the number of devices they use for that access. Purchasing a User CAL might make more sense if your company employees need to have roaming access to the corporate network using multiple devices, or from unknown devices, or simply have more devices than users in your organization.

With a Device CAL, you purchase a CAL for every device that accesses your server, regardless of the number of users who use that device to access the server. Device CALs may make more economic and administrative sense if your company has workers who share devices, for example, on different work shifts.

hope this helps.
