If computers in your department are networked, you likely depend on network server software to perform certain functions, such as file and print sharing. To legally access this server software, a Client Access License (CAL) may be required. A CAL is not a software product. It is a license that gives a user the right to access the services of the server.

Note: The Microsoft Campus Agreement does not cover any server licensing which can be purchased through our Microsoft Software Through GovConnection Program.

The following CALs for use on University-owned computers are included as part of the UMass Amherst’s Microsoft Campus Agreement:

  • Windows Server CAL (Workload, File & Print, WSS, AD)
  • System Server Configuration Manager CML (Monitoring & Updates)
  • Exchange Standard CAL (Messaging, Calendar, Contacts)
  • Office SharePoint Standard CAL (ECM, Portal, Search)
  • Office Communications Standard CAL (IM, Presence)
  • System Center Ops Manager Client OML (Client Monitoring & Management)
  • Windows Rights Management Services CAL Exchange Enterprise CAL (Unified messaging, Compliance)
  • Office SharePoint Enterprise CAL (e-forms, Spreadsheet Publishing, Data Integration)
  • Office Communications Enterprise CAL (Conferencing)
  • Forefront Security Suite (Security for Client, Exchange, Office Communications & SharePoint Servers)
