Introduction
Background:
Raft of change in the commercial agreements between Microsoft and the NHS.
The start of the latest technology wave from Microsoft.
Significant licensing changes across core platforms.
Acceleration of technology strategies such as flexible working, platform consolidation..
End user demands are increasing based on emerging technology trends.
Investment in new technology platforms.
Objective:
To provide an introduction to both server and desktop licensing from Microsoft, provoke thought and illustrate considerations that need to be made prior to any investment.
End User Computing
Microsoft Licensing Fundamentals:
End User Computing Licensing Fundamentals: Desktop Operating System
Desktop Operating System
• OEM tied to the machine.
• Downgrade rights available.
• Cannot use for virtual desktop deployments.
• Software Assurance can be attached.
OEM Volume Licensing (License Only)
• Upgrade only license.
• Must have a qualifying base OS.
• Licensing can be transferred and downgraded.
• Ideal for imaging.
• Cannot be used for virtual desktop deployments.
Volume Licensing with Software Assurance
• Access to Enterprise features.
• Ability to attach MDOP.
• One option for virtual desktop deployments.
• Enterprise becomes OEM’d if SA ceases.
End User Computing Licensing Fundamentals: Applications
Applications
• OEM tied to the machine.
• Downgrade rights not available.
• Cannot use for virtual desktop deployments.
• Cannot be used for remote access.
• Software Assurance can be attached.
OEM Volume Licensing
• License must be assigned to a physical device.
• Can be re-assigned but does have restrictions.
• Downgrade rights.
• Can be deployed from the DataCentre to a corporate device.
• Portable Use Rights may apply.
Volume Licensing with Software Assurance
• Access to latest versions.
• Enables extended roaming use rights.
End User Computing Licensing Fundamentals: Client Access Licenses
Client Access Licenses (CALS)
• Assigned to a physical device.
• One CAL required to access many servers.
• Can be used for internal and external parties.
• Ideal for environments where there are more users than devices.
• NHS allocation provide device CALs
Device User
• Assigned to a user.
• One CAL per user required to access many servers.
• Can be used for internal and external parties.
• Required for remote access or VDI from non-corporate device
CAL Suites
• Mandatory Software Assurance.
• Access to latest versions.
• Cost effective way to acquire CALs
CAL Suite?

Smartphones, PDAs etc…
iPads, Android Slates, Windows Slates.
BYOD and Consumerisation.
NOT REQUIRED if Processor or Core Licensing is used (excl. Windows Server).
90 Day re-assignment term applicable.
OWA requires Exchange and Windows User CAL (typically)!!
CALS When are they required?
Multiplexing: Hardware or software you use to pool connections, reroute information, reduce the number of devices or users that directly access or use the product, or reduce the number of operating system environments (or OSEs), devices or users the product directly manages, (sometimes referred to as “multiplexing” or “pooling”), does not reduce the number of licenses of any type that you need.
Flexible Working / Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
BYOD Adoption Scenarios:
Environment requires tight control

Licensing Terms
Extended Roaming Use Rights: The single primary user of the licensed device may:
remotely access the software running on your servers (e.g., in your datacenter) from a qualifying third party device, and
run the software in a virtual OSE on a qualifying third party device.
When the primary user is on your or your affiliates' premises, Roaming Use Rights are not applicable. You may not run the software in the physical OSE on the third party device under the Roaming Use Rights
Qualifying third party device: A device that is not controlled, directly or indirectly, by you or your affiliates
(e.g. Home PC, third party public kiosk) Qualified Desktop (EA/EAS Only): Any personal desktop computer, portable computer, workstation or similar
device that is used by or for the benefit of an enrolled affiliate. This does not include PCs being used as a server, industry device or any device running an embedded OS that does not access a virtual desktop
infrastructure.

Summary
Various options to procure OS, Applications and CALs.
End User Computing strategy will drive what you need to purchase end user based licensing.
Applications and OS are device based licensing.
CALs can be device or user.
Software Assurance will play a big part in flexible working.
True BYOD, license it as if you was licensing the corporate desktop.
Microsoft Server Licensing Fundamentals
Server + CAL
Server: Licensing to be assigned to a physical server.
Client Access Licensing requirement.
Licensing can be re-assigned.
Terms may differ from product to product.
Most technologies available via this method.
Server Operating System Environment: Different terminology.
Virtual Operating System Environment (vOSE).
Physical Operating System Environment (pOSE)
Unless stated, always assign to physical device.
Per Processor & Per Core
Per Processor:
License the CPUs that the OSE is using.
Technologies such as BizTalk, System Centre, Windows Server will use this metric.
Generally speaking CALs are not required.
Cost effective way of licensing external access, high numbers of internal users or virtual environments.
Per Core:
Introduced with SQL 2012.
Only technology to date that uses this metric.
Provides a more granular level of licensing.
Hyper-threading needs to be considered!
External Connector and Internet Sites
External Connector strictly for non-employee access.
Internet Sites – SharePoint specific.
Cost effective way to provide partner, client, public access.
License mobility
Test and Development
Developer licenses available for certain technologies.
Visual Studio w/MSDN provide rights up to UAT.
VS and Developer licenses are based on named developer.
Develop on any number of servers.
Cost effective option for test and development.
Per Processor, Per Core, Per Server?? Summary
• If external access is required.
• High number of internal users.
• Densely populated virtual environments.
• Only licensing metric available
Per Processor Per Core

Dynamic Virtual Servers Server Application License Mobility
Past
Re-assignment of Microsoft server licensing restricted.
90 days before licensing can be re-assigned.
Reduces effectiveness of virtualisation
Increased costs as licensing for maximum capacity was required.
Present
License Mobility removes this restriction.
No restriction on frequency of movement (subject to terms).
Some technologies require software assurance.
Software Assurance enables use of volume licensing moving services to 3rd parties

SQL Server 2012:
Hyper threading
To license individual VMs using the Per Core model, customers must purchase a core license for each v-core (or virtual processor, virtual CPU, virtual thread) allocated to the VM, subject to a four core license minimum per VM.
Additional licenses are required when: A single hardware thread is supporting multiple virtual cores. (A core license
is required for each v-core.)
SQL Server 2012:
Hyper threading
To license individual VMs using the Per Core model, customers must purchase a core license for each v-core (or virtual processor, virtual CPU, virtual thread) allocated to the VM, subject to a four core license minimum per VM. For licensing purposes, a v-core maps to a hardware thread.
Additional licenses are required when: A single hardware thread is supporting multiple virtual cores. (A core license
is required for each v-core.) Multiple hardware threads are supporting a single virtual core. (A core
license allows a single v-core to be supported by a single hardware thread.)
