Exchange CALs usage count
Hi,
I am looking for a cmdlet in EMS or a place in EMC using which i can actually find out how many number of unique devices are connecting to Exchange. This is required for estimating and budgeting the number of CALs that are required for the
server.
Any other inputs are also welcome to find out the number of cals that are currently being used.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers :)

Hi,
Are you looking for Exchange or Windows CALs. If it's Exchange then it's about the number of mailboxes not connections CALs.

Hi !
I guess you're looking for this :
in EMC click in left (top) pane at Microsoft Exchange On-Premises (exchange.yourdomain)
then right pane --> Collect Organizational Health Data
then in Organizational Health tab (mid pane) --> Organization Summary
good luck

Hi,
To monitor how many users are connecting and the user type, use Microsoft Exchange user monitor tool. for more information, see

If you have any further questions about licensing, please use the contact information in here which
