Microsoft Windows Server - license & software assurance - 1 device CAL

Microsoft® Select License 6.0 is a software volume licensing program designed for corporate, government, and academic customers with 250 or more desktops and mixed product and purchasing requirements. Select License 6.0 customers receive a volume price level for each pool of products selected (applications, systems, or servers) based on a three-year software forecast.



Software Assurance (SA) is a simpler way of obtaining the latest and most innovative Microsoft products, replacing the complexity of one-time upgrades (VUP - Version Upgrade; PUP - Product Upgrade; CUP - Competitive Upgrade; LUP - Language Upgrade) and Upgrade Advantage (UA). With Software Assurance, you receive the right to run the current version of the product as well as any new versions released during the term of your coverage.





A Windows® Server Client Access License (CAL) is required for each user or device (or combination of both) that accesses or uses the server software. Licensing options let you choose the CALs that make economic sense for your network.



Windows Device CALs might make most economic and administrative sense if your organization has multiple users for one device—shift workers, for example.
