6 Microsoft Licensing Options Overview Internal Use Licenses (EA, Select License, Open License) Services Provider License Agreement (SPLA)) External Connector Outsourcer Enrollment An organization uses Microsoft products for its own business purposes and to create or access its own proprietary information. These agreements grant customers perpetual licenses, with the exception of subscriptionbased agreements. An organization offers software services to its customers through servers connected to the Internet or a private network. Microsoft products are used to provide these services. Examples: Web hosting, applications hosting, and messaging services. Licensee: Services Providers Outsourcers An External Connector License is an alternative to Client Access Licenses (CALs). It gives organizations the right to permit an unlimited number of external users access to certain Microsoft server products. External users are users that are neither (i) the entity or the entity s affiliates employees, nor (ii) the entity or the entity s affiliates onsite contractors or agents. The External Connector License cannot be used by licensees to provide software services or to otherwise provide access to a Microsoft product where access to the Microsoft product is the primary benefit. Outsourcer Enrollment gives authority to a third party to purchase licenses on behalf of its Select License customers. The customer is the licensee of the Microsoft products acquired under the Outsourcer Enrollment for the term of the agreement.
