6. Current Problems

6.1. Complexity of License Calculation

6.1.1. Physical or virtual environment.

6.1.1.1. Virtual Operating System Environment (VOSE). Like VMWare

6.1.2. Client Access Liences CAL

6.1.2.1. “User” = Named User CAL, (assign to user or Computer, so user can open any number of documents)

6.1.2.2. “Session” = Session CAL (its session based, sharing session for some defined time)

6.1.2.3. “User” = “Usage” = Usage CAL (calculated as use browse)

6.1.2.4. “Document” = Document CAL ( assigned to document)

6.1.3. Different CPU Type

6.1.3.1. Factor for AMD License Calulation

6.1.3.1.1. Certain AMD processors need to have a multiplication factor of 0.75 applied to the core count.

6.1.4. CPU Type

6.1.4.1. a dual-core, dual-processor machine you would need to count that server as a dual, four-core processor and purchase licences for eight cores, despite only having four cores in total

6.1.5. Partition

6.1.5.1. partitioning doesn’t reduce the number of cores you need to licence

6.1.6. Selling Package

6.1.6.1.  Serve core licences are sold in packs of two: So in our example above we would purchase four SQL Core licence SKUs to cover eight cores.

6.1.6.2. Software Assurance

6.1.6.2.1. a worst-case scenario can require three payments for the same Windows license -- once for a new machine, once in a volume licensing plan, and once again for Software Assurance.

6.1.7.1. Printer

6.1.7.2. Mobile

6.1.10.2. Aeon use Citrix, why have to pay for Windows license of desktop

6.1.11. Other

6.1.11.1. - Do my servers need a CAL? For example, 100 users access to 1 server. And 1 server connect to 1 database. How many license needed for database?

6.2. Overpaid Commodity Software

6.2.1. Excel/Word for branch

6.2.2. OS

6.3. No Standard Price for Software

6.3.1. Mandays

6.3.2. Turnkey Project
