[windows software] Windows 2008 Server Student Access Licence

[adamf]

Does anybody know what a "Windows 2008 Server Student Access Licence" is? Something I saw in a Ramesys brochure but I can't find any info on the web about such a thing.

I'm fairly sure that it is a Client Access License (CAL) which allows students to make use of features like remote desktop / ts web apps etc.

Depending on your deployment and other existing license types (external connectors etc) it may or may not be required.

More appropriate word!

On Academic MS licensing programs, there are "Faculty" CALs that cover school owned machines and "Student" CALs that cover machines owned by students. Often used for giving them home access to school resources...it's probably this you saw referenced.

Indeed - Schools Select includes options on Student CALs.

Hope this helps

They are also available on Schools Agreements.
