I have two servers on the same network, one with 50 CALs (Server A) and the other with none (Server B). I want to transfer only10 CALs from Server A to Server B, but I'm not sure how to do this. I've tried rebuilding the BDD and re-installing the licenses on Server A to activate only a certain number of CALs, but it didn't work. All 50 CALs are migrated on Server B. The wizard doesn't let me set a specific number. I bought one pack of 50 retail licenses . Can someone guide me through the process? Thank you.

    Hello,

    If your CAL is a package (50 count), it cannot be departed to 2 servers.

    But I think you want to use your CAL from a different network, if so, try Per Device when someone is not from your domain.

    But if you prefer Per User, you cannot assign CAL to anyone outside your domain.
