Microsoft Enterprise CAL Suite 1 Device CAL Step-up

Expand access to Microsoft Enterprise CAL Suite with a licensing model designed for organizations that standardize around shared devices and controlled Windows PC environments. This step-up license includes Software Assurance and covers 1 Device CAL, giving procurement teams a clear path to extend entitlement from Microsoft Core CAL Suite without overbuying seats. The Open Value Subscription program aligns with annual fee budgeting, while academic price eligibility can help institutions manage cost more predictably. Platform-based licensing keeps the structure straightforward for enterprise purchasing, and Windows support ensures compatibility with established desktop and endpoint estates. For teams managing access across labs, shared workstations, or departmental PCs, this license supports a disciplined approach to compliance and renewal planning. It is a practical fit when you need to add enterprise-level rights to a specific device rather than commit to broader user licensing. The result is tighter control over spend, cleaner entitlement management, and a licensing position that scales with how your environment is actually used.
