Choosing between User and Device CALs

Device CALs User CALs

Economic factors • Less expensive to acquire

Device CALs

• Fewer devices than users,

e.g. call center, factory floor

• Less expensive to acquire

User CALs

• Fewer users than devices,

e.g. information worker with

multiple devices (desktop,

notebook, and smartphone)

Ease of Management • Easier to track devices

• Asset management systems

are set up to track devices

• Easier to track users

• Purchasing systems are tightly

linked with HR processes

External Users

External Users means users that are not the

customer’s or the customer’s affiliates’ employees,

onsite contractors or onsite agents.

External users may be licensed with individual CALs

or an External Connector license.

An External Connector License (per server) permits

access to the server software by any number of

external users.

• Examples for available EC licenses: Windows Server

2008 R2 EC, Exchange Server 2010 Standard EC.

• EC licenses are not available for SQL Server 2012

and SharePoint Server.

SharePoint Server 2010 for Internet Sites (fIS)

All content, information, and applications

accessible by internal users must also be

accessible to external users.

Customers wishing to consolidate their

SharePoint Server needs under a single

deployment may acquire licenses for both

products, assign those licenses to the same

server, and use the same running instance of the

software simultaneously under both licenses.

However, customers must acquire CALs as

required under the SharePoint Server 2010 use

rights to access content limited to internal users.

SQL Server 2012

Licensing Model Per Core: SQL Server 2012 Enterprise and Standard

Determining the number of licenses required

for SQL Server 2012 Enterprise or Standard

running in the physical OSE:

The customer may license based on

all of the physical cores on the server.

The number of licenses required equals the

number of physical cores on the server

(minimum of 4).

Licensing Model Server / CAL: SQL Server 2012 BI and Standard

SQL Server 2012 Business Intelligence

can only be licensed in the Server/CAL model.

SQL Server 2012 Standard can be licensed per

core or alternatively in the Server/CAL model.

SQL Server Standard Edition should be

deployed in the Server/CAL model

in scenarios where customers can easily

count users/devices and the total

licensing costs are lower than using the

per core licensing model.

Management Servers

System Center 2012

System Center 2012 Standard and Datacenter

Editions are for managing servers (not clients).

Licenses are required only for servers being

managed. No additional licenses are needed

for management servers or SQL Server

technology.

Each license covers up to two physical

processors.

Each license of SC 2012 Standard permits

managing 2 virtual OSEs. Each license of SC

2012 Datacenter permits managing an

unlimited number of OSEs on premises.
