Microsoft Core CAL Academic – 1‑Year User Access License (No‑Level Add‑On)

The Microsoft Core Client Access License (CAL) Academic edition provides institutions with a cost‑effective, compliant way to grant users access to Windows Server services. This 1‑year, no‑level add‑on licence removes tier restrictions, allowing any authorised student, staff member or faculty to connect to essential server resources such as file sharing, print services, and remote desktop. Designed specifically for the education sector, the licence aligns with Microsoft’s Academic Volume Licensing agreements, simplifying procurement and renewal processes. With built‑in security updates and Microsoft support, the Core CAL ensures that your campus network remains protected while delivering the reliability required for research, teaching and administrative workloads. The licence is fully virtualised, meaning it can be deployed instantly through your Microsoft Volume Licensing portal, reducing administrative overhead and accelerating time‑to‑value. Whether you’re expanding a data centre, migrating to the cloud, or modernising on‑premises infrastructure, this CAL provides the flexibility and peace of mind that IT departments need. Invest in a licence that scales with your institution’s growth, maintains compliance with Microsoft licensing policies, and supports the seamless delivery of digital services to the academic community.
