OK here is an easy way to tell on this one. Since I am getting conflicting info off post, this scenario should have been dealt with for years and should be an exact match to the question. BES...

Did you ask them about the how that applies to web workloads? If the client connects to a web service via IIS then the licensing document would suggest that those devices do *not* need CALs. If the...
