Microsoft Academic Core Client Access License (CAL) – 1‑Year Per‑User

The Microsoft Academic Core Client Access License (CAL) provides institutions with a flexible, per‑user entitlement to access Microsoft server products such as Windows Server, Exchange, and SharePoint. Designed specifically for the education sector, this 1‑year subscription licence removes the need for device‑based licensing, allowing each authorised user to connect from any number of devices – desktops, laptops, tablets or smartphones – while remaining fully compliant with Microsoft’s licensing terms. Ideal for universities, TAFEs and K‑12 schools, the CAL simplifies licence management by consolidating access rights under a single user account. It supports the latest Windows Server releases and integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 services, ensuring that staff and students benefit from the most up‑to‑date security patches and feature updates throughout the subscription period. With no tiered pricing or hidden fees, the Academic Core CAL delivers predictable budgeting and a clear return on investment for IT departments. By choosing the Microsoft Academic Core CAL, organisations can focus on delivering high‑quality education experiences rather than navigating complex licensing structures. The licence is backed by Microsoft’s world‑class support and compliance guarantees, giving peace of mind to IT administrators and senior management alike.
