Mike Austin (speaker) explains what counts as an "enterprise product" in Microsoft licensing (examples: Office Pro, Windows OS, Core CAL, E CAL). He notes that while many customers have moved to Office 365 / Microsoft 365, on-premise licenses still exist on some Enterprise Agreements—commonly for kiosk/shared PC scenarios such as manufacturing shop-floor PCs, retail kiosks, and healthcare nursing stations.

Chapters

The first thing to know is if it's an enterprise product. Okay. And I've done other sessions on more depth on enterprise products and things like that. But again we'll just go over these are your Office Pro, your Windows os, your Core Cal, your ecal. And so typically most of the time nowadays you don't see these as these are now in Office365 and Microsoft365 but there are still some companies that have these on their EAs. If you haven't moved to O365 and you're still on premise you may have these but there are also scenarios where there are certain use types or use scenarios where they may have these. So typically those would be things like kiosks and shared PCs. So if you think about you know, a manufacturer, maybe their shop floor PCs that they have, you know, on premise licenses on still for various reasons we'll see these things in retailers. We'll see them in like health care at maybe nurses, nursing stations and things like that.
