Easy to deploy, manage, and use, Windows Server helps you build a secure IT infrastructure that provides a powerful application platform for quickly building connected solutions and an information worker infrastructure for enhanced communication and collaboration anytime and anywhere. In addition to including all the features in Windows Server , Standard Edition, Windows Server , Enterprise Edition, adds enhanced availability, scalability, and dependability.
Server clusters provide high availability and disaster tolerance for mission-critical database management, file sharing, intranet data sharing, messaging, and general business applications. Features Designed for medium to large businesses An operating system for servers running applications such as networking, messaging, inventory, and customer service systems; databases; and e-commerce Web sites.
It offers support for high-performance servers and can be used to cluster servers for greater load handling. These capabilities provide reliability that helps ensure systems remain available--even if problems arise. The Enterprise Edition includes new features and improvements that render it the most dependable, enterprise-ready server operating system Microsoft has ever created. Active Directory is now faster and more robust over unreliable wide area network WAN connections, thanks to more efficient synchronization and replication as well as credential caching in branch office domain controllers.
Get all the functionality you expect from a server operating system, including multiprocessor and bit support, clustering, and other improvements. Software licensed by core. Specialty Server licensing. Specialty Servers are server-only licenses that generally do not require CALs. Specialty Servers require a server license for each instance of the server software running on a server.
You can run the instance in a physical or virtual operating system environment. By exception, some products provide more specific use rights. Included with the ML are the rights to run the corresponding management server software, so you do not need to acquire separate licenses for the management server software.
Software licensed by ML. Cal and MLs. You can also find up-to-date licensing information for specific products at Product Licensing Search. Microsoft Core CAL Suite: Provides six innovative technologies from Microsoft that can be used to establish a solid IT infrastructure and delivers the essential capabilities that every user needs. Microsoft Enterprise CAL Suite: Delivers the future of productivity with 12 of the latest products in compliance, real-time collaboration, security, communication, desktop management, and more.
Client Access License Suite licensing rights. CAL Suites simplify licensing and tracking by reducing the number of licenses that are necessary to access Microsoft servers. CAL Suites may also provide pricing that is more attractive than licensing the equivalent components individually.
The Microsoft CAL Suites include licenses across the Microsoft productivity and core infrastructure sets of technologies. Microsoft CAL Suites provide software rights to a subset of the Microsoft portfolio of server-based products. To begin using these services, contact your Microsoft Partner, who can begin the provisioning process required to activate each service.
In all cases, under a CAL Suite, your use rights with respect to a particular product or online service are the same as if that component were licensed separately. The only exception is that both per-user and per-device options are available in CAL Suites, even when both options are not available outside the suite.
CAL Suites are offered only with Software Assurance coverage, and they therefore provide you with the right to use the most recent version of every product in the suite. If Software Assurance coverage lapses and you are vested with perpetual rights, use rights are determined by the latest version of the products that were in effect prior to the lapse in coverage.
Rights for the online services expire upon lapse of Software Assurance coverage, regardless of whether the CAL Suite is perpetual. CAL Suite Bridges. Retain on-premises access rights. These users have multiple devices, so the company purchases 25 user CALs to go along with the existing 10 device CALs. Even though you can purchase a mix of device and user CALs, is there a catch to using them?
So, how does the Licensing Service keep track of user connections versus device connections? The simple fact is that it doesn't. While it does track CALs purchased and allocated, it doesn't prevent connections when the total number of accesses is reached. Your users won't be shut down no matter how many or how few CALs you add.
User and Device CALs are simply a legal requirement, not a technical one. No CALs required There is one situation in which CALs are not required to access the server or a server application: when users make their connections anonymously from the Internet. For example, you don't need CALs to allow customers to anonymously access your Web site.
All that is required is a single Windows Server license. If you provide authenticated access to customers or partners, however, you do need to take licensing into account. An External Connector License allows an unlimited number of external users to access the server or server application for which the license applies. Instead, the EC is designed for customers and partners who need to access your server or application.
For example, if you provide authenticated access for your customers to obtain inventory or pricing information about your products, you need an EC to legally provide that data. If you have only a few customers or partners who access your servers, an EC will likely seem fairly expensive.
In these situations, you can still purchase and use CALs to allow these users to gain access, rather than purchase the EC. When you are evaluating the necessity for an EC, consider the cost for the appropriate number of CALs against the cost of the EC, then factor in future growth. Keep in mind that the EC allows an unlimited number of connections, so purchasing an EC now might still be more cost effective if the number of users is relatively low now but will grow in the near future.
Managing licenses Windows Server provides two tools to help you manage licensing.
