Products: Citrix MetaFrame Secure Access Manager 2.0

Citrix cannot guarantee nor provide absolute rules regarding compliance with Microsoft licensing. We can however provide the following guidelines:

The document Microsoft SQL Server: How to Buy (http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/default.asp), dated May 28, 2003, defines the following three licensing options:

Processor license. Requires a single license for each CPU in the computer running SQL Server. This license includes unlimited client device access.

Server plus device client access license (CAL). Requires a license for the computer running the Microsoft server product, as well as CALs for each client device.

Server plus user client access license (CAL). Requires a license for the computer running the Microsoft server product, as well as CALs for each user.

When using Citrix MetaFrame Secure Access Manager with SQL Server, there are 2 possible scenarios:

1. Only the Access Management Console (AMC) accesses the SQL Server. (No Content Delivery Agents (CDAs) that store data in a SQL database are used.) In this instance, any of the above three licensing models can be used. A processor license will allow any number of administrators to use the AMC from any number of devices. The server plus device CAL option would require a license for each computer that the AMC is used on. The third option, server plus user CAL, calls for a license for each user that runs the AMC, independent of device(s) used.

2. The AMC and one or more CDAs utilize SQL Server. In this case, a processor license is recommended, as Secure Access Manager is acting as middleware. Each user that logs into an access center with these CDAs indirectly uses the SQL database. If a definite number of users and/or devices can be determined, the server and CAL options may be feasible as well.

Citrix Content Delivery Agents that may utilize SQL Server:

§ Alert Broadcaster

§ Alert Broadcaster Manager

§ Database Viewer

§ Interactive Poll

§ Message Center

§ Personnel Locator

Secure Access Manager access centers that do not include the above CDAs will not consume SQL Server licenses during usage; only the AMC connects to the SQL server – please refer to scenario 1 above.

None of this has anything to do with us, someone else is responsible for the entire thing, and we have no idea who or why. We do not know anything about it. It may be alien life forms for all we know: we haven't a clue. You cannot blame us for anything that may result from your visit. That was entirely your own personal choice, made by you of your own volition, and without our knowledge. We do not, after all, have any control over you and cannot by any stretch of the imagination be expected to accept or acknowledge, be it legally or morally, any accountability for decisions made by you on an independent basis, utilizing your own free will, and without our intervention. We are therefore in no way, shape, or form answerable to anyone for any consequences arising from the aforementioned or indeed any other actions, similar or otherwise, because it was not us that did, or did not do anything. It is not even remotely our fault, and we are in no way prepared or willing to accept any liability, not even slightly, ever. We are, in fact completely and utterly blameless, in that it is definitely not our concern, and no blame can possibly be laid at our doorstep, even if we had one, the possession of which we hereby reserve as being entirely our own free choice. The onus is not on us at all, and furthermore, never has been. The entire matter is wholly beyond our control, and completely out of our hands, each of which are washed scrupulously clean of the whole business. We are not accountable for anything at all, and we hereby categorically deny all responsibility for all that has ever, or will ever happen. Our innocence is therefore wholly beyond doubt and absolutely unimpeachable, and so cannot, under even the remotest or unlikeliest circumstances, be brought into question. By clicking either on a link on this site, clicking on a link that leads to this site, or by arriving at this site by natural or supernatural means, you are in effect accepting responsibility for the fact that it is all entirely your own fault, down to the most miniscule detail, and that you are wholly accountable for whatever outcome may arise as a consequence of the aforementioned action or actions insofar as they were undertaken personally by you on an entirely voluntary basis and without any persuasion, coercion or influence from any party or parties other than yourself. Don't come sniveling to us, we are only figments of your imagination. I also agree that if I am ever with a contributor to this website during mealtimes I agree to pay for any super-sizing of their meal, or at least a nice dessert or one of those foo-foo drinks with an umbrella or a monkey. By admitting to have seen the worthless spineless drivel on this website (also known as content)

I Agree Wholeheartedly and Without Reservation to the above. (Except maybe for that part about the monkey.)

No. Really, I do agree.
