Microsoft Academic Core CAL – 1‑Year Volume License (No‑Level) – 1 User

The Microsoft Academic Core Client Access License (CAL) provides essential, legally‑compliant access rights for any Microsoft server product that requires a CAL. Designed for educational institutions, this 1‑year volume‑licence is a no‑level (generic) entitlement, meaning it can be applied to a wide range of server solutions—including Windows Server, Exchange, SharePoint and SQL Server—without the need to purchase separate CALs for each product. With academic volume‑licensing pricing, the Core CAL delivers a cost‑effective way to equip staff, students and authorised devices with the right to connect to your organisation’s Microsoft server environment. The licence is flexible, allowing unlimited re‑use across eligible devices throughout the subscription period, and simplifies licence management by consolidating access rights under a single, easy‑to‑track agreement. By choosing the Microsoft Academic Core CAL, IT administrators can ensure compliance, reduce administrative overhead and support the scalability required by modern campuses. This solution helps institutions focus on delivering education and research, while Microsoft handles the security and reliability of its server platforms.
