CAL Question

[D Web]

We have approximately 900 enterprise resources loaded but less than 200 have
ever connected to Project Web access. (We have a lot of named contractors
who don't report time and most users were created for resource modeling and
are not required to log their time to projects)

Most of the information I seem to be able to dig up about the CAL license
says that it's need for users who will access and utilize Project Web Access
but if we have 700 resources who will never actually use PWA, do we only need
200 CALs or do we need 900 CALs? (one for every named resource, even if they
never actually use the system)

Any input would be appreciated.

D Web,

CAL are based on user who access PWA. It is not based on resoureces. So
you do not need CALS for people who do not use the tool.

If those 700 users are active Enterprise Resources who have the ability
to log into PWA, then my reading of the EULA is that you need a Client
Access Licence for them. I would use PWA to determine the last time
those people logged into PWA and make a decision, based on that,
whether or not to make them inactive resources.
