These parameters help in choosing the right Exchange Server on-premises licenses

To use Exchange server on-premises, you will need to purchase a license for each server that runs the software.

There are three types of on-premises licenses available for Exchange Server – Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition, and Client Access License (CAL). The Standard and Enterprise editions differ in terms of features and functionality offered.

The CAL license allows users to access the Exchange Server from their devices and is required in addition to either the Standard or Enterprise edition license.

Not licensing your Exchange Server on-premises correctly can result in the following.

Legal implications
Licensing non-compliance can lead to legal action being taken against your organization. This can result in hefty fines and damage to your company's reputation.

Security risks
Unlicensed software may not receive regular updates and patches, leaving it vulnerable to security threats. This puts your organization's data at risk and could lead to a data breach.

Financial losses
If your organization is found to be non-compliant with licensing requirements, you may have to pay for retroactive licenses and face financial penalties. This can significantly impact your budget and affect your bottom line.

Audit exposure
Non-compliance with licensing requirements may trigger an audit by Microsoft or other software vendors. This can be time-consuming, costly, and disruptive for your organization.

1. These parameters help
in choosing the right
Exchange Server
on-premises licenses

2. Exchange Server licenses are available in a Standard and an Enterprise
edition. The Standard and Enterprise Server license can be used in
conjunction with Standard and/or Enterprise CALs. Choosing a particular
CAL depends on the different levels of functionality offered

3. For core functionality, it is inked to a Standard CAL which is assigned to a
user or device. However, for extended functionality, if in use or required,
we recommend the purchase of an Enterprise CAL in addition to the

Standard CAL

4. Choose Exchange Server Standard edition for small to midsize
organizations with limited scalability requirements with fewer users. For
larger organizations with high scalability requirements with a large
number of users, or for high availability within clustered environments,
choose Exchange Server Enterprise edition

5. For users accessing fundamental email and calendar information, choose
Exchange Server Standard CALs. Using Unified Messaging, integrated
archiving functionality, and information protection capabilities, choosing
to add an Exchange Server Enterprise CAL is recommended

6. An Exchange Server Enterprise CAL with services with active SA will
include the rights to Data Loss Prevention and Exchange Online

Protection. Standard or Enterprise CALs can be used with either
Standard or Enterprise Server editions

7. Wondering which Exchange Server license to choose considering your
