Product Notes

 

Exchange Server 2010

License Grant:

One-time License Grant of Exchange Server 2010 Standard to License Holders of Exchange Server 2007 Standard:

The “Local Continuous Replication” functionality in Exchange Server 2007 Standard is being replaced with the “Mailbox Resiliency” functionality in Exchange Server 2010 Standard. The “Mailbox Resiliency” functionality requires two running instances of Exchange Server 2010 Standard and consequently two server licenses. As a one-time exception in connection with the shift from the “Local Continuous Replication” functionality to the “Mailbox Resiliency” functionality, we are granting Select, Enterprise, Open License, Open Value, and Campus and School customers the following:
  • One complimentary Exchange Server 2010 Standard license for each datacenter where the customer has at least one server licensed for Exchange Server 2007 Standard with active Software Assurance as of November 1, 2009.
Customers are still eligible to upgrade all of their qualifying licenses to Exchange Server 2010 Standard. The grant of the additional license is intended to help offset any impact of the new licensing requirements. Any licenses granted under this offer include Software Assurance coverage that terminates when coverage on the corresponding qualifying licenses expires.

Additional Offer. Customers with Software Assurance coverage expiring between November 1st, 2009 and November 1st, 2010 may renew coverage for the qualifying license and be deemed to have renewed coverage for the complimentary license. In the subsequent Software Assurance renewal, Software Assurance for the complimentary Exchange Server 2010 Standard license will need to be renewed separately to maintain active Software Assurance.

Customers' right to use the software under the complimentary Exchange Server 2010 Standard license is evidenced by this product condition note and evidence of their corresponding qualifying licenses. A customer’s use of the software under this offer will be subject to the terms and conditions of its license agreement and the product use rights for the software. The right to use the software under the complimentary licenses expires when the right to use software under the qualifying licenses expires. Customers may not transfer the licenses granted under this offer separately from the corresponding qualifying licenses.

Outlook 2007 grant for Exchange Server 2003 CAL customers
Unlike prior versions, Exchange Server 2007 Standard or Enterprise does not include the right to install Outlook on devices for which CALs are obtained. However, for each Exchange Server CAL, Core CAL Suite or Enterprise CAL Suite with active Software Assurance coverage as of November 30, 2006, customers will be granted one Office Outlook 2007 license. The right to use Outlook under that license expires upon expiration of the corresponding CAL. Use of Outlook under this offering is subject to the customers’ license agreement and the product use rights for that product. If Software Assurance coverage on the corresponding CAL is maintained continuously (i.e., renewed with no lapse in coverage), and one later version of Office Outlook (i.e., N+1, where N=Office Outlook 2007) is made available prior to the expiration of that coverage, customers’ license will be for that version instead. Alternatively, customers are eligible to acquire Software Assurance coverage for that Office Outlook license, provided that coverage is acquired by February 28, 2007. Customers who wish to acquire Software Assurance coverage for Office Outlook after that date must first acquire a new license for the version of Office Outlook that is current at the time coverage is acquired.

Exchange Server 2010 Standard CAL

Managed Default Folders Licensed with Exchange Server 2010 Standard CAL
The right to access Managed Default Folder functionality in Exchange Server 2010 is conferred under the Exchange Server 2010 Standard and equivalent CALs. An Exchange Server 2010 Enterprise CAL or equivalent CAL is needed to access Managed Custom Folder functionality, but not Managed Default Folder functionality.

Student Only CALs (Academic Open License and Academic Select)
Student Only CALs are restricted to license student owned PCs or institution owned PCs dedicated to an individual student and are NOT for use in labs or classrooms.


Please remember: The terms and conditions of your volume license agreement, and the product use rights documented in that agreement, govern your use of products licensed from Microsoft. While we have endeavored to facilitate your access to and understanding of the product use rights through this online tool, your use of this site should not serve as a substitute for reading and understanding your volume license agreement. We will work to keep the contents of this site consistent with the governing volume license documentation, but in the case of conflicting content, you should refer to the terms and conditions of your agreement.

If you acquire licenses under the GSA our GIA programs, please contact your reseller or Microsoft licensing executive for the applicable license agreement/product use rights.
