Windows pricing FAQ
Why not use one fixed price?
Price ranges help businesses plan budgets, but final quotes depend on edition, license channel, quantity, VAT, exchange rate and documentation requirements.
Does Windows Server require CALs?
Usually yes. If users or devices access Windows Server services, the right User CAL, Device CAL or RDS CAL should be calculated.
Can IT Systems supply and deploy Windows together?
Yes. IT Systems can advise licenses, supply suitable products and support installation or configuration.
Need a Windows quote by device or server quantity?
Send the number of workstations, servers, cores, users/devices accessing services and deployment needs so IT Systems can calculate the right Windows licensing option.
