Microsoft is boosting the price of a license that provides client access to Windows Server, SharePoint, Exchange and Systems Center, but is sweetening the deal by giving buyers access to a new endpoint security product and the new Lync unified communications software.
Microsoft is also expected to lower the price of an enterprise license that includes more robust access to key Microsoft software.
The annual price of the Core CAL (client access license) is expected to rise from $80 to $89, according to information distributed by Microsoft partner Softchoice, although final pricing won't be made official until Aug. 1. The numbers are estimates that "reflect preliminary info from Microsoft."
