Exchange Server User CAL – Enterprise (Discounted)
An Exchange Server Enterprise user client access license (CAL) can be used only in conjunction with an Exchange Server Standard user CAL. It authorizes one user to access additional features in Exchange Server Standard or Enterprise edition on any number of computers or other devices. For example, an employee might access the server from a computer at work and another at home.
This offer provides one Enterprise user CAL. Enterprise device CALs — for providing devices with access to additional features — and Standard CALs (user and device) are also available.
Major Capabilities
The Enterprise CAL provides access to the following additional features in Exchange Server Standard or Enterprise edition.
- Journal decryption
- Unified messaging
- Custom retention policies
- Integrated archiving
- In-place hold
- Data loss prevention (DLP)
- Information protection and control (IPC)
This CAL does not provide access to Microsoft Forefront Online Protection for Exchange.
