So, how can I 'install' or 'activate' this 5 user CAL on a 2012 Server I already have up and running? I dont know how this key associats w a machine

I dont think it matters from a technological point. I have always purchased the CALS that I need and keep the proof of purchase. I have never done anything with the CALS. I have never had trouble connecting computers to a domain. It is very much on your honor as far as I know. If you find out otherwise I would love to hear.

Purchasing CAL's is a matter of record keeping, not installing. If you are ever audited, the audit team will determine how many clients have been connecting and ask to see proof that you have at least that many CAL's purchased.

With Windows Server 2012, there is no software to install in order to add CALs. You buy the CALs required, you get a piece of paper that indicates that you have purchased the required number of CALs and that is it. I just did one a few months back and had the same question. After previously working with Server 2003 and 2008 this was different.This answer marked as correct by Zhang Qikun Microsoft Contingent Staff Moderator on social.technet.microsoft.com on February 11, 2013

I think you will have to pay as a multiple user anyway. I had 3 PC's here and they made me pay as a multiple user. I would call Intuit.

Is this the first time that it has been used? And are you sure that it is not an upgrade? There is a way to get your key to work if you installed the upgrade as a full version. You can google it on the web, or do the following: Press the Windows key and type regedit(press enter)Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE/software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE(double chick on the)MediabootInstall(key in the right pane) Change the key's value from 1 to 0. Ext the registery, press the windows key again and type cmd. Right-click on the comand prompt icon and run it as an administrator. type: slmgr /rearm(press enter) reboot Windows. When you get back into Windows, you should be able to run the activation utility and activate Windows.

As long as your server(s) are configured in the "per user" fasion as opposed to "per device" you likely wont even get bothered about anything.. you don't really have to put any key codes into the server at all. Really, it seems having them is so you are still legal with everything and stay within the terms of service with Microsoft. Safe from an audit this way for example.

It looks like an un-enforceable policy. If I can install the program in 3 different PCs, how do they expect to control the machines' ownership? Sounds odd to me.

If you set the server 2012(r1 or r2) up as a domain controller then any connecting clients need to be professional version. Home versions will only work in a workgroup. You also need to buy CALS(client access licenses) for any PCs connecting to the server to be legal.

Hi Amy,You have 3 activations for the program. You can install on separate computers or create separate user accounts on one computer and have each child access from their account accordingly. If you need further assistance, we'll be happy to help! You can contact us directly usersupport@fluenz.com Thanks!

Someone else set my system up so I don't know how it was set up and don't know whether it's the same as this. Sorry! However, from the other answers, it appears it'll work..........

You can install and run on one computer at a time. License issues. Need to get separate software to run on another computer.

It says 3 users on the box so if you want it for 10 computers you will have to but 3 for 3 users and 1 for 1 user. Do the math

No you cannot, the installation requires the product key to be entered if you try to install on a second PC it will fail to activate.

the quantity of active authorizations is 2, i mean, you can have it running in 2 computers at the same time only.

If both servers are on the same domain the CALs allow access to any number of servers on the domain and there is no need or facility for configuring some explicit splitting. If the 2 servers (as VMs) are not on the same domain I'm not sure. However the licensing may be more about showing how you assigned them per each user (or in the other case, device) in your organization so your documentation should record the assignment to users in-line with you purchased.
