Should I upgrade server CALs

Currently I have 4 Windows 2003 servers and has recently added a Windows Server 2008.  According to the licenses, we have 30-Windows Server 2003 User CALs and 5-Windows Server 2008 User CALs.

Sales staff, told me that since I now have a Windows Server 2008 on the network, I have to update my 30-2003 User CALs in 30-2008 User CALs.  Is this true?  I want this chalked up a seller wanting to make money, but at the same time, I want to remain compatible with Microsoft.

Does anyone know if this is true?

    Each update, apple publishes intends to improve performance and efficiency to provide a better experience for their consumers, so in my opinion the upgrade would be better now to improve the performance my advice would be to close the applications that you do not use and restart from time to time to clear the immediate memory.

    Summer wrote: where can I get a DVD of Windows 7 upgrade?

    Hello summer, DVD of Windows 7 x 64 upgrade usually can be found in your local computer supply store.

    Here is the link for the specifications of your system and it shows the system is delivered with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP1.

    Here a link to Newegg where the operating system Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium Upgrade can be found for USD $109.00 with free shipping. Free shipping usually takes about 7-10 days. You can choose faster shipping for an extra cost options.

    This Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium Upgrade is a commercial version and comes with a free gift of Kaspersky Lab Internet Security 2012 1 user license.

    When you insert the DVD into the optical drive and boot the system, you would be presented with the option in a few screens to perform an upgrade installation. You would select just a upgrade and installation will continue and complete.

    You should then have Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 installed. If you want or need a more robust version, such as Windows 7 x 64 Pro or Ultimate, you can find these institutions, but they cost a bit more, and if you do not need the features of these versions, it would not be the extra cost.

    Whatever version you decide, you must put the enclosed certificate of authenticity (COA) on the system case and remove the Vista COA of the case. This could ensure that you are legal.

    You should also go to the Windows Update site after the upgrade and see if there are new updates for your system.

    I think it would be.

    @AA7,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  At this point I would like to wait a few months for all the bugs to settle with the operating system and compatibility with the software and drivers.

    It normally takes a few months for an operating system to take the ist wake when dealing with hardware and software.

    Keep an eye on the support page for your laptop.  Then pass the drivers and software for windows 10 becomes listed.

    Thanks for the post and have a great day.

    You know it's a real shame that HP didn't advise people to do it before we upgraded. Now you admit that your drivers do not work with Windows 10. Bunch of idiots.

  • HP 250 g4: should I upgrade the BIOS?

    HP support assistant informs: BIOS should be upgraded, but nothing has been done during the night.

    I tried to update manually, but in vain.

    Can I still update or whatever? )

    If Yes, give me ftp link, pls.

    PS. HP support assistant does not recognize Bluetooth and Intel MEI: I had to manually install.

    You must install an update to the BIOS if it provides a fix for a specific problem, you may have or if it adds a feature that you need. None of these cases, it is best not to install the update.
