Microsoft Lync Server External Connector License - Enterprise (Includes Software Assurance)

This enterprise external connector (EC) licence can be used only in conjunction with a standard Lync Server 2010 or Office Communications Server 2007 R2 EC licence. It supports audio, video, and web conferencing and application-sharing capabilities for any number of external users or devices accessing a single installation of Lync Server 2010 or Office Communications Server 2007 R2.

The enterprise EC licence additionally enables voice telephony features when used with Office Communications Server 2007 R2. Voice telephony features for Lync Server 2010 require a separate licence, the plus EC licence. To enable all features in Lync Server 2010, all three EC licences (standard, enterprise, and plus) are needed.

Generally, an external user is defined as anyone who is not an employee of the organisation. For example, external users can include clients, suppliers, and alumni of the organisation. External users do not include independent contractors, agents, service providers, or other persons providing services to or on behalf of the organisation holding the licence.

The EC licence may not be used as a means of reselling or repackaging Lync Server 2010 or Office Communications Server 2007 R2 as a hosted service.

Licence Only: This licence does not require media, licence keys, or setup codes.
