Sharepoint on-Premises CAL and office 365
I have licensing question... we already have existing users for Office 365 and we are going to deploy SharePoint on-prim, do these users require CAL?? Regards Amal
am_ yaqoub This is covered in Product Use Rights document for Office 365, under Appendix A - CAL/ML Equivalent Licenses. Hard place to look from, but contains final info.
Office 365 Enterprise licenses offer CAL equivalents; they satisfy the license requirement to access base or additive functions based on SKU.
Office 365 E1 covers SharePoint base CAL requirement.
Office 365 E3, E5 and Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 cover base and additive CAL equivalents. SharePoint Server Enterprise CAL is an additive CAL, so that use should be covered under Office 365 E3.
