Today I get a couple of questions about licensing in OCS2007. The licensing model of OCS2007 is very straight forward. I will attach more information:
Office Communications Server 2007 is offered in two server editions: Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition.
- Office Communications Server 2007 Standard Edition
Standard Edition requires that primary server components, as well as the database for storing user and conference information, be configured on a single computer. Standard Edition is recommended for organizations that do not require higher availability through clustering. - Office Communications Server 2007 Enterprise Edition
Enterprise Edition enables separation of server functionality and data storage to achieve higher capacity and availability. Enterprise Edition is recommended for organizations that that require higher availability through clustering.
Office Communications Server 2007 is offered in two Client Access license (CAL) editions: Standard CAL and Enterprise CAL.
- Office Communications Server Standard CAL
Provides users access to instant messaging, presence, peer-to-peer voice and video, and file transfer capabilities. - Office Communications Server Enterprise CAL
An additive CAL that requires that a Standard CAL is also purchased for each user or device. Provides user access to voice and call management, application sharing, and multi-party Web conferencing.
A CAL is required for each user or device (depending on the license) accessing the server. Either version of the CAL may be run against either version of the server.
