Sharepoint 2013: Licensing Model (On-premise)

A lot changed on the sharepoint licensing model in 2013version. You don’t need a separate license for FAST as FAST is integrated withsharepoint search. You could enforce and tie the licensing to the AD SecurityGroup and create separate groups for each of the below versions (three types oflicenses in the on-premise model).

1.      SharePoint Foundation 2013

2.      SharePoint Server 2013 - Standard CAL

3.      SharePoint Server 2013 - CAL Enterpriese

Also, Sharepoint 2013 is designed in such a way that if auser doesn’t have an appropriate license, the system will let the user knowthat the particular feature is not available and make sure that the userexperience is not lost.

The graphic below illustrates the differences in theirrespective features:
