Microsoft on Monday will deliver a belated holiday gift to partners and small business owners. Sources say the Redmond, Wash. software giant will announce that it will give five free client access licenses (CALs) to Windows Small Business Server 2003 customers to make up for a bug in the server and its Windows SharePoint Services that derailed many installations this fall.
The five free CALs, valued at roughly $500, will be available to existing customers and new purchasers of the standard and premium editions of the server software from January 5, 2004 though February 5, 2004, sources said. The free five-pack will be offered in addition to the existing five CALs that come with the server.
