MICROSOFT ONLINE SERVICES

Rather than the services being installed on the organization’s own servers, with Microsoft Online Services, the services are installed on Microsoft's servers which users access across the Internet. This makes Microsoft the service provider which hosts and manages the software on behalf of the customer.

• Licenses and accompanying software are non-perpetual
• Rights to access and use the online service, and install and use the related software, are available only during the subscription term
• At the end of the term, customers can either continue the subscription or let it expire

Availability

• For small and medium sized customers, availability is through Open Value only
• For larger customers, availability is through Select, Select Plus, Enterprise Agreement (EA) and Enterprise Subscription Agreement (ESA) programs

ONLINE SERVICES LICENSE TYPES

• A USL (User Subscription License) is required to enable the functionality of an online service for a particular user. It is assigned to the user and allows that user to use multiple devices to access the online service
• A DSL (Device Subscription License) is required to enable the functionality of a service for a particular device. It is assigned to the device and allows multiple users to use that device to access the online service
• An SSL (Services Subscription License) is required to enable the functionality of an online service across an entire organization
• An Add-on SL (Add-on Subscription License) is required to enhance or “add-on to” the online service functionality across an organization

Customers need either a DSL or USL to cover the client and server operating systems using the online service. The Forefront Client Security Management Console is a separate purchase, licensed with a single SSL.


LICENSING FOREFRONT SERVER SECURITY / PROTECTION

Customers need either a DSL or USL for clients/users accessing the server which the Forefront technology is protecting.
