Licensing question: Exchange Server SE for CSP M365 E3/E5 customers without Extended Use Rights
Does anyone have any information on licensing the new Exchange Server SE for customers who have M365/O365 E3/E5 purchased via CSP but do not have Extended Use Rights (i.e., no EA/EAS -> no on-prem Office server licenses included)? Specifically: Is it enough to license Exchange Server SE per node only, or Do customers also need to purchase Exchange Server CALs per user (even if they already have M365 E3/E5)? I’ve spoken with multiple licensing distributors and a Microsoft partner contact, but I still haven’t been able to get a definitive answer. According to a comment from Jeremy Carlson and Microsoft’s licensing documentation, certain licenses appear to include "CAL-equivalency rights". Can anyone here confirm whether these CAL-equivalency rights cover access to Exchange Server SE in the CSP E3/E5 (no Extended Use Rights) scenario? licensing reference: https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms/product/CALandMLEquivalencyLicenses/MCA#clause-2165-h3-1
Reduce Window Server CAL licenses
Hi, I am building a new production environtment, where client uses Microsoft Dynamics Navision 2016 and I have few question regarding the user/device CALs. I have installed new VM where Windows Server 2022 Datacenter is installed and I installed SQL Server 2019 Standard and applied per core (2x2 vCore) license to it. I know that for SQL Server no CALs are required, since it is Per Core licensed. I installed another VM where Windows Server 2022 Standard is installed and where NAV2016 server is installed. Windows Server is lincesed, but I am not sure, if I need to purchase also user and device CALs? I believe I need user and device CALs, too, and therefore I'd like to reduce the cost of CALs by: 1. creating an AD Security Group X and add all the users who are connecting to the NAV service tier as members into that AD Security Group (20x employees and 5x service accounts for 3rd party apps). Can I purchase exactly 1 user CAL license, or do I need to purchase 25 user CALs? 2. creating an AD Security Group Z and add all the devices that are connecting to the NAV service tier via WS calls (3x barcode scanners). Can I purchase exactly 1 device CAL license, or do I need to purchase 3 user CALs? Thanks DamjanWindows Virtual Desktop - Server 2019 (version 1809) with proper RDS CALS - RDSH getting 120 days
So we have a WVD in Azure with server 2019 instead of win10 evd ( it's multitenant deployment), with a licensing server but every RDSH gets a 120 days grace period no matter what we do. We keep having to reset the grace period or the hosts simply stop accepting RDS connections, even via bastion. Any thoughts?
