Microsoft Core Client Access License (CAL) Suite gives customers a
simple, cost-effective way to establish an investment in key Microsoft
technologies through a single license agreement.
The Microsoft Core CAL Suite encompasses four fundamental Microsoft server
products that provide your people with identity management, directory services,
enterprise communication (e-mail, calendar functions, and scheduling),
collaborative workspaces, and asset management. The Microsoft Core CAL Suite
presents outstanding value and cost savings for customers looking to extend the
capabilities of the Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office system platforms.
Included in Core CAL Suite:
- Windows Server 2003 R2 CAL
- Exchange Server 2007 Standard CAL
- Office SharePoint Server 2007 Standard CAL
- System Center Configuration Manager 2003 R2 Configuration Management License
(CML).
Client Access Licenses (CALs) are required for each device or user that
accesses the features and services of that Microsoft program. Device CALs are
likely to be more cost-effective than User CALs if there are multiple users per
device (for example, a call center or an airport kiosk).
