Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the Azure DevOps Server software itself?

No. This SKU is a User CAL that licenses a user to access Azure DevOps Server. The server software and required server licences are procured separately based on your deployment and Microsoft licensing terms.

What does “Software Assurance” mean on this CAL?

Software Assurance is Microsoft’s maintenance and benefits program for volume licensing. This SKU includes SA for a 1-year coverage period as specified. Exact benefits and eligibility depend on Microsoft Product Terms and your agreement.

What is “Acquired Year 3” in Open Value?

“Acquired Year 3” indicates the SKU is intended for customers adding licences during the third year of an Open Value agreement lifecycle. It helps align additions with the correct agreement timing and coverage.

Do I need a User CAL for every person who accesses Azure DevOps Server?

In general, users who access the server require appropriate CAL coverage unless a specific access scenario is exempt under Microsoft Product Terms. For most organisations, assigning a User CAL per accessing user is the standard approach.
