Standard and Enterprise Features in SharePoint Server 2007

Standard and Enterprise Client Access Licenses (CALs) in SharePoint will license different server features, and customers will need to have the appropriate CAL to access specified features.

The Windows CAL is required in all scenarios. In addition, the Enterprise CAL requires the Standard CAL; customers cannot purchase the Enterprise CAL by itself.

Note that Windows SharePoint Services is an add-on to Windows Server and currently requires no CAL other than the CAL normally required to access Windows Server.

Microsoft has not yet released a similar breakdown for other servers, but Exchange 2007 and Live Communications Server 2007 will also have Standard and Enterprise CALs.

Type of CAL	Features Licensed
Windows SharePoint Services (Windows Server CAL)	Simple project management (e.g., issue tracking) Team workspaces and blogs Windows Workflow Foundation Basic document management with versioning, metadata Basic site infrastructure and user roles Text search of team sites
