Does a non-domain system connecting to a share require a cal? 
:
I have a few Vista home systems that I want to connect to a share on an 08 server.
Thanks!
I think I found the answer, and it's - they need a cal.

Your 08 server likely came with at least 5 CALs out of the box, though. -

Hyper-Me, that's not true necessarily. While retail copies of Windows Server are bundled with some amount of CALs (5-25 usually), licenses acquired through Microsoft Volume Licensing agreements do not include CALs (they are a seperate SKU). -
