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
Each Office365 user licence include one on-premise CAL for SharePoint Server. You then only need server licence for windows server, SharePoint Server, SQL server and eventually CALs for users without O365 licence.
what about SQL CAL licenses?
Igor_BInder licening mechanics for SharePoint Server and SQL Server is distinct.
Office 365 licence only includes equivalent CALs for the SharePoint Server part, you will need to purchase proper licencing for SQL Server. You can either go for CAL model or per Core, depending on the number of users you have the per Core can be a cheaper option.
