The three licensing building blocks in a business

Building blockWhat is licensedNote
Office licencesPer workstationEdition depending on requirements, from Home and Business through to Professional Plus
Windows licencesPer devicePro for domain connection and BitLocker, Home for standard workstations
Server licencesPer server, plus access licencesWindows Server with the associated CALs for users or devices

How to bring procurement together

  • Assess requirements per building block. Record Office workstations, Windows devices and servers separately.
  • Differentiate between editions. Not every workstation and not every device needs the most expensive edition.
  • Take advantage of volume discounts. From 2 licences per order the discount applies, across all building blocks.
  • Factor in audit safety. VAT invoice per order, with additional procurement documentation available on request if needed.

Häufige Fragen

Which Microsoft licences does a company need?

As a rule, three building blocks: Office licences per workstation, Windows licences per device and, where needed, server licences with their associated access licences.

Can I buy all my Microsoft licences from a single provider?

Yes. Office, Windows and server licences can be procured together. The volume discount applies across all building blocks from 2 licences per order.

What else should I keep in mind with server licences?

A server licence alone is not enough. Every user or device that accesses the server also needs an access licence, known as a CAL.
