MS EES Licensing

[ITGURU]

Hello

 

In the complex world of Microsoft Licensing, I was wondering if someone could help me out as get different responses from resellers.

 

We are on the EES licensing, so license for our FTE.

 

For Exchange Standard, do we require CALS even for Outlook Web Access, and I assume that if we are only using the RemoteApp part of the Remote desktop services we only have to buy RDS cals for the FTE count?

 

For SQL, we purchase by server, then CALS, which again I assume we only need to buy based on FTE number?

 

Any advice would be great.

 

Thanks.

You're right that SQL needs CALs purchasing separately. As for Exchange, yes I think you need CALs purchasing separately also, but just for users using MS Outlook and not OWA or Push Mail.

I've just been advised "You do not need to purchase Exchange CALS as they come in the Core CAL Suite which is part of the DesktopEdu package" so just for reference if anyone else if needing to renew.

But surely then, outside of Education the CALs would be required?

MS do Core and Enterprise CAL Packs and Bundles with OS upgrades for Commercial use as well just a different name and many more $0's in the cost
