The Windows Essential Business Server (EBS) 2008 is available in two editions; Standard and Premium. Further information on the editions may be found on the Editions Overview page.
The licensing models are similar in that they consist of a server license and incremental Client Access Licenses (CALs).

Microsoft offers several flexible licensing options to allow for complete scalability of your cost in relation to your usage, including various CAL quantities to suit your specific needs and the ability to purchase Windows Essential Business Server 2008 CAL Suite for Premium Users or Devices for only those users or devices accessing the ‘premium’ features.
