Exchange Server 2019 Enterprise - 20 Device CALs

Exchange Server 2019 Enterprise - 20 Device CALs: Expanded Access and Advanced Features

This package is a Client Access License (CAL) for Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 Enterprise edition. It grants access to the functionalities of Exchange Server for up to 20 devices.

Key Points:

• Device-Based CAL: Similar to the 10 CAL version, this allows any device (desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone) to access Exchange Server features, regardless of the number of users on the device.
• Increased Capacity: This CAL doubles the number of devices that can be licensed compared to the 10 CAL option.
• Advanced Features: Unlocks the same enhanced functionalities available in the Exchange Server 2019 Enterprise edition, including:
  • Robust archiving for long-term email storage and legal compliance.
  • Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to safeguard sensitive information from accidental leaks.
  • In-Place Archiving for seamless management of inactive mailboxes.
  • Larger mailbox capacities to accommodate users with high email volumes.
  • Increased storage quotas for attachments and messages.
• Separate from Server License: Remember, this CAL is separate from the license required to run the Exchange Server software itself. You'll need both for a functional deployment.
• Perpetual and Transferable: This CAL is a perpetual license, usable for as long as your organization owns it, and can be reassigned to different devices if needed.

Functionalities Granted to Devices:

With this CAL, devices can perform a variety of actions within Exchange Server:

• Comprehensive Email Management: Send, receive, manage, and organize emails.
• Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks: Create, edit, share, and manage calendars, contact lists, and task lists.
• Outlook Web Access (OWA): Access email, calendar, contacts, and tasks through a web browser.
• Mobile Email Apps: Utilize mobile apps for smartphones and tablets to access and manage email on the go.

Who Needs This CAL?

• Organizations already running Exchange Server 2019 Enterprise edition.
• Businesses requiring advanced features like enhanced archiving, DLP, and larger mailbox capacities that the Standard edition lacks.
• Organizations with a need to grant access to Exchange Server for a moderate number of devices (up to 20 in this case).

Considerations:

• User CALs: Consider User CALs if user-based licensing better suits your needs.
• Standard vs. Enterprise CALs: Standard CALs are sufficient for basic email functions. Choose Enterprise CALs for stricter compliance and information protection requirements.
• On-Premises Deployment: This product is designed for organizations deploying Exchange Server on their own infrastructure, not for the cloud-based Microsoft 365 offering.

In Conclusion:

Exchange Server 2019 Enterprise - 20 Device CALs is a licensing option for organizations seeking to expand access to advanced features within their on-premises Exchange Server deployment. By understanding the licensing model, functionalities granted, and target audience, you can determine if this CAL best fits your organization's needs.
