Windows Server 2025 External Connector
For Business that have external users (Contractors, Consultants) and would prefer to license the whole server for external access rather than purchase individual CALs for external Users.

Microsoft ERP list prices, US market, from the current CSP price list. Nonprofit and education prices require the matching Microsoft eligibility on your tenant — we verify it as part of the quote.
The licensing rules that actually matter here.
Windows Server Standard and Datacenter are licensed per core: minimum 16 cores per server and 8 per processor, sold as core packs.
Every user or device that touches the server also needs a Windows Server CAL; Remote Desktop use needs RDS CALs on top.
Send us your host and user counts with the quote request — we confirm the core and CAL math before you pay for anything.
