Hello! Need some help with Exchange licenses - I have Enterprise key for Exchange 2019 but how do I know about number of available CAL's for this license? Is there any Exchange Management Shell command for this? We need at least 100 CAL's for our small company :-) Thank you for help.

    But how can I be sure I have all necessary number of client licences? I didn't catch - should I activate it using Shell to see available number of CAL's?

    Yea, you dont install CALs or check via powershell, you have to simply ensure the licenses you have purchased match the amount you need:

    Hi @Evgeny Shupik ,
    Yes . As Andy said, you don't need to install any CALs.
    You can refer to the command in the following link if you want to check how many users are using Enterprise CALs:
