software license

Counting when using virtualization.

Regarding virtualization at the client OS, up to four virtual OSEs are allowed per license per terms of the Software Assurance (SA) privilege.

How are CALs counted?

A Client Access License (CAL) is a license necessary for accessing a certain Microsoft server.
※Eligible users of the EES contract are granted the following types of CALs:

  • Windows Server CAL
  • Exchange Server Standard CAL
  • SharePoint Server Standard CAL
  • System Center Configuration Manager CML

NOTES:
For “Remote Desktop Access to Windows Server (RDS CAL)”, see eesq22.
Other licenses not listed here (such as the Exeternal Connector License) are not included in the EES contract.
CALs that are not included in the EES contract should be purchased by your organization, and you may be able to purchase CALs at a slightly lower price by informing the vendor that the University has an EES contract.

Is there RDS (Remote Desktop Services) here?

Our university has an RDS license.
You can set up a Windows Server on campus and take advantage of it if you need an RDS license (when you need remote desktop access).
This license expires in March 2028.

Precautions:
This license is for the faculty and staff of this university. A separate license is required for access by students and people outside the university.

Remarks:
This license can be applied to the access of the management company when the management work is outsourced to an off-campus company.

How do I use EES products off-campus?

The VPN service provided by the Academic Computing and Communications Center allows you to connect to the license server from an off-campus (provider, etc.) network.

If you only use Office, please consider Office 365 of EES benefit. Office 365 activation can be activated by using it in an online environment both on-campus and off-campus. Please see Microsoft Office (for private use).

How can I use EES products in an environment where I cannot connect to the Internet?

As on-line license verification is performed on a regular basis, utilization must be, in principle, on-line. (Verification is performed upon signing into your Office 365 account). However, as there is a 30-day indulgency period for the regular verification, it is possible to use it off-line during 30 days after the last license verification. After this verification period, Office function restrictions are applied.

Please contact us as we may allow changes to the MAK method, which does not require regular activation.
(For example, when a long-term off-campus business trip of 150 days or more is expected)

I can’t watch Stream videos.

If you are unable to view videos on Stream, the solution depends on the cause. Please click on the link below according to your problem.

In some cases, using InPrivate (Edge) or Secret Window (Chrome) in your browser may solve the problem, or deleting cookies in your browser may work. However, this will also clear your login status to other sites.

“Sign in to view this content.”

You may not be able to sign in to Microsoft365 with your @u.sukuba.ac.jp account.
Please check if you are able to sign in successfully with @u in your browser.
Please try other web browser applications as well, as other MS accounts may be interfering.
(For Windows users: If you are using Edge, use “Google Chrome” or “FireFox”, etc.)
(For Mac users: If you are using Safari, use “Google Chrome” or “FireFox”, etc.)

“Authenticated user does not have permission to access this resource.”
“This is not available – it seems that you are not authorized to watch this video.”

It is assumed that access is restricted on Stream and that the settings to allow access have not been properly configured.
Access to Stream is restricted in a way that allows access to group members, and registration to groups is done by the faculty member.
Immediately after course registration, there is a possibility that the group registration process is not completed in time, or even if it is completed, it may take some time for it to be reflected in the system.
If a faculty member has given you a URL to join a group, please use that URL to apply to join the group. It will take some time because you will not be registered to the group until the faculty member approves.
If there is no such indication, the faculty member will register you again based on the course roster. Therefore, please inform the faculty member that you cannot refer to the video.

“Video not found.”

It is thought that you are not able to sign in to Microsoft365 with the @u.sukuba.ac.jp account.
The solution is the same as below. Please refer to the following for the solution.
