Microsoft Discounts with Software Assurance

Windows Server is Microsoft's solution for workgroup file, print, and communication servers, as well as for Internet content delivery. A user client access license (CAL) is needed for every user accessing Windows Server for file services, printing services, remote access service, or terminal services. It is also needed for any authenticated users accessing Windows Server as a web server or an application server. This offer provides one user CAL that authorizes a user to access Windows Server from any device (for example, when an employee accesses the server from a computer at work and another at home). Device CALs for licensing computers and external connector licenses (ECLs) for licensing a significant number of external users are also available.

Windows Server is Microsoft's solution for workgroup file, print, and communication servers, as well as for Internet content delivery. If an organisation has a large number of authenticated external Internet users accessing Windows Server or utilizing Windows Services, an external connector license (ECL) allows an unlimited number of simultaneous connections. This offer provides one ECL for Windows Server. For a small number of authenticated external users, a more economical solution might be to acquire client access licenses (CALs) for the maximum number of simultaneous connections expected. Please note that an organisation with an ECL still has to acquire CALs for the internal devices accessing the server. No license is required for anonymous Internet users.

An Azure DevOps Server user CAL authorizes a user to access Azure DevOps Server (formerly Visual Studio Team Foundation Server) from any device. For example, an employee could access the server from a computer at work and another at home. This offer provides one user CAL. Device CALs are also available. The Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) subscription that is bundled with Visual Studio editions available through Connecting Up and TechSoup New Zealand provides one Azure DevOps Server CAL. Other users need an Azure DevOps Server user or device CAL to access Azure DevOps Server. Examples are users of Visual Studio Team Explorer (available as a free download from Microsoft), Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere, or Visual Studio Online.
