Hi,

According to the FIM licensing guide:

"For each user for whom the Forefront Identity Manager software issues or manages identity information, a CAL is required."

So is a CAL required for a user who has left the organisation, but for legal reasons, the account will remain in FIM/AD/etc for 5 years (as a disabled account).

Thanks,

SK

I'm checking on this for you but one possible solution to avoid requiring a
CAL here is to remove the portal account for disabled users. They can still
be managed by the Synch service, they just won't be in the p

Good news, the answer is that since these former employees are no longer
"affiliated" with the company no CALs are req

Hi Paul,

I had the same confusion.

Am I correct in assuming that no CAL is required for disabled users?

Thanks,

No, that's not the deal here. The reason that no CAL is required in Shim's
case is that the disabled accounts are for users who are no longer employed
by the company in question.

If a disabled user account was associated with someone who is still
employed by the company then a CAL would be required.

The no CAL requirement is not tied to the fact that we're dealing with
disabled accounts, it is tied to the fact that the person with whom the
account is associated is no longer with the company. If the person to whom
the account is associated is no longer an employee, the account could be
active and no CAL would be req

Thanks Paul!

thank you Paul
