The Enterprise Client Access License (CAL) Suite can deliver greater discounts than the Core CAL Suite if an organization is using many of its components. The Enterprise CAL Suite includes the Core CAL Suite as well as CALs, Client Management Licenses (CMLs), and subscription licenses (SLs) for additional components. An organization buying the Enterprise CAL Suite receives a discount of more than 40% compared to buying the component licenses separately and more than 35% compared to buying the Core CAL Suite plus the remaining individual component licenses. The table shows the prices of the Enterprise CAL Suite versus the individual components in the Enterprise CAL Suite but not the Core CAL Suite.

All license prices listed here represent the highest price a midsized U.S. company would typically pay and are mostly taken from the Dec. 2015 U.S. Select Plus Level A price list. The Enterprise CAL Suite must be purchased with Software Assurance (SA); a license-only purchase is not offered.
