Buy Exchange Server 2016 CAL – Client Access License for Exchange Server 2016 at affordable prices
Anyone running Exchange Server 2016 needs a Client Access License (CAL) for every user or device that accesses the Exchange Server. The Exchange Server 2016 CAL is the right access license for existing Exchange 2016 infrastructures—it’s affordable, verified, and backward-compatible with older versions of Exchange Server. At Lizenzindustrie, you’ll receive your CALs immediately via email—legally compliant and at a price significantly below the official list price.
Recommendation: Since newer CAL versions are also valid for older Exchange versions, we recommend that all companies considering a migration to Exchange Server 2019 purchase Exchange Server 2019 CALs right away. These are also valid for Exchange Server 2016 and simultaneously prepare you for a future upgrade.
Standard CAL or Enterprise CAL – Which Is the Right Choice?
Exchange Server 2016 CALs are available in two versions:
Exchange Server 2016 Standard CAL – The Standard CAL grants access to all basic Exchange 2016 features: email, calendar, contacts, tasks, Outlook Web App, ActiveSync for mobile devices, and IMAP/POP3 access. For most employees in typical work environments, the Standard CAL is perfectly sufficient and the more cost-effective choice.
Exchange Server 2016 Enterprise CAL – The Enterprise CAL is an extension license to the Standard CAL and requires it. Enterprise CALs expand the feature set to include in-place archiving for an unlimited number of archive mailboxes, advanced compliance features such as in-place hold, advanced eDiscovery, and unified messaging. Enterprise CALs are primarily relevant for users in regulated industries and for companies with strict compliance requirements.
