you will be able to assign your CAL to the server, but you have to buy

server license as well for it to be legal

The Action Pack was something I was consdiering, but I wanted to wait

Windows 7 had a release date in sight. Also, from what I can tell, M$ ask =
a fair few questions about your organisation before they allow you to
purch=
ase the Action Pack.=20


But that aside, if I download Server 2008, I assume the CAL license can be
=
appliued against it ? Or does it have to be installed against every server

consuming  client ?=20

If it's the later case, how would you go about installing it on a
proprietr=
y media player ?

Sorry, I'm clueless having come from the regular Consumer based Operating
