Its something wrong there. You dont need cals to each user that access a website running over IIS. Microsoft Support or anybody can answer for sure about your own licensing program... Its terrible.

This is correct. Cals are needed if you access any kind of service hosted within a windows server platform. Consider it like a bubble within a bubble. The outer bubble is windows server and the innwr the 3rd party software. While they have nothing linking them, you still need to go through the outer shell. I do think that you chould purchase a corecal for all clients. This covers any windows server and windows based services.
Pretty nice business model, ain't it? First you pay for a server, and then you pay *again* so you can actually use the server that you already paid for. It never ceases to amaze me how customers put up with that.
