| 1245370 | 2011-11-25 01:14:00 | Hi all Does anyone know the easy answer to this? Looking through multiple PDFs etc, none mention what the 75 represents. Although it may be right in front of me and I just can't see it :) Cheers for any help. |

From here :) en.wikipedia.org CAL = en.wikipedia.org |

| 1245372 | 2011-11-25 01:45:00 | Thanks feersumendjinn (Meatballs fan?) But I am still not sure after reading those links, which I had already scoped out. I am happy at 75 users to go ahead with SBS2011 - as it says a max of 75 users. But when you install SBS2011 built-in acconuts get created - and if you buy SBS2011 and it comes with 5 CALs, are these then sucked up instantly by the built-in accounts, or could those 5 be used for "normal" users? We would need 75, but just using the 5 it comes with as an example. |

| 1245373 | 2011-11-25 02:06:00 | Q: How many users can SBS 2011 Standard and Essentials support? A: SBS 2011 Essentials will support up to 25 users. SBS 2011 Standard will support up to 75 users. SBS comes with 5 Users pre Loaded, you then purchase them in batches of 5 as per the agreement, Meaning you can purchase batches of 5 which may contain 2 licences, and 3 place holders. It also depends on what other licence agreements you have with MS, meaning for example if you have say 2 users of Office Volume + 3 Users on the server = 5. |

| 1245375 | 2011-11-25 02:13:00 | Thanks Wainuitech Bummer as that still doesn't answer my question. Does the 5 licenses Standard comes with include (for example) the administrators account, or does that admin account use up one of the 5? Q: How many users can SBS 2011 Standard and Essentials support? A: SBS 2011 Essentials will support up to 25 users. SBS 2011 Standard will support up to 75 users. SBS comes with 5 Users pre Loaded, you then purchase them in batches of 5 as per the agreement, Meaning you can purchase batches of 5 which may contain 2 licences, and 3 place holders.
