100 Exchange cals means you can have only 100 clients which are regularly
connecting to Exchange. For these clients you can use Outlook XP without
additional costs (taking into account that you already own a CD set).
For you this means that you can distribute x25 Office XP and an additional
x75 Outlook XP by using the Office XP CD and license. As I mentioned in my
initial reply verify with the vendor or Microsoft that you can indeed use
the Office XP CD and license to ONLY install Outlook XP but in general this
is allowed.
Good luck!

Thanks Robert,
When you mention VLK (volume licensing?) do you mean of Office or the exch
cals?
For example, if we have exch x100 2000 cals, x50 office 97 licenses (retail
or volume), x25 office 2k licenses (retail or volume) and x25 Office XP
licenses, can I install Outlook XP onto x100 clients?
I'll double check with our vendor but if you clarify, then great. If not no
problem.
Thanks

Strictly speaken; no. But in general this method is considered legal as
long
as the amount of installations correspond with (or is lower than) the
amount
of purchased (VLK) licenses. Having only one installation source and
installation key sure makes deployment, support and updating much easier.
Contact your software vendor or Microsoft Product Support for a definitive
answer for your environment.

I am aware that one is able to use E2k CALS to install Outlook 2002 and
below
onto client PCs. I wanted to check whether you had to get Outlook on a
separate CD or whether we can use one copy of Office (XP/ 2k/ 97) and use
that key to install Outlook onto multiple clients or is there some other
more
convulated way we have to do? I've read the slipstick site and am none
the
wiser!
Thanks
