Windows Server is Microsoft's solution for workgroup file, print, and communication servers, as well as for Internet content delivery. This is an external connector license (ECL) for Windows Server Standard and Windows Server Enterprise.

If an organization has a large number of authenticated external Internet users accessing Windows Server or utilizing Windows Services, an ECL allows an unlimited number of simultaneous connections. For a small number of such users, a more economical solution might be to acquire client access licenses (CALs) for the maximum number of simultaneous connections expected. Please note that an organization with an ECL still has to acquire CALs for the internal devices accessing the server. No license is required for anonymous Internet users.

License Only: This license does not require media, license keys, or setup codes.

Software Assurance: Under the Software Assurance program, you have the right to install any new release of products covered in the agreement during the term of your coverage.
