BizTalk Server Branch and Standard Edition

Use Limitation

Customer may not use the server software on a Server that is part of a networked cluster or in an OSE that is part of a networked cluster of OSEs on the same Server.

Office Web Component

Customer may use the Office Web Component only to view and print copies of static documents, text and images created with the software. Customer does not need separate licenses for copies of the component.

BizTalk Server Branch Edition

Customer may Run Instances of the software on Licensed Servers only at the endpoint of its internal network (or edge of its organization) to connect business events or transactions with activities processed at that endpoint; provided, the Licensed Server may not:

  • act as the central node in a “hub and spoke” networking model,
  • centralize enterprise-wide communications with other Servers or devices; or
  • automate business processes across divisions, business units, or branch offices.

Licensing Use of Host Integration Server (HIS)

Customer may use HIS server software and Additional Software under the terms and conditions of the Per Core License Model using BizTalk Server core licenses. Customer may use HIS Additional Software (e.g., HIS Client) only in conjunction with its licensed use of HIS server software.  The rights applicable to this use are determined by which edition and version of BizTalk Server licenses Customer assigns to the Server (e.g., unlimited virtualization rights require BizTalk Server Enterprise licenses with SA). Use of HIS server software is limited to branch office deployments if used under the BizTalk Server Branch Edition licenses.

License Model

Per Core

For Products under the Per Core License Model, Customer must choose either Licensing by Physical Core on a Server or Licensing by Individual Virtual OSE. The terms for each are set forth below.

Server Licenses (per core) – Licensing by Physical Core on a Server

  1. Customer may use the server software on a Licensed Server, provided it acquires sufficient Server Licenses as described below.
  2. The number of Licenses required equals the number of Physical Cores on the Licensed Server subject to a minimum of four Licenses per Physical Processor.
  3. For Enterprise edition, Customer may use any number of Running Instances of the server software on the Licensed Server in a number of Physical OSEs and/or Virtual OSEs equal to the number of licenses assigned to it.
  4. For each additional Enterprise edition License that Customer assigns beyond the number of Licenses required under paragraph 2 above, it may use the server software in one additional OSE on the Licensed Server.
  5. For other editions, Customer may use any number of Running Instances of the server software only in the Physical OSE on the Licensed Server.

Server Licenses (per core) – Licensing by Individual Virtual OSE

Available for subscription licenses or licenses with active Software Assurance only:

  1. Customer may use any number of Running Instances of the server software in any Virtual OSE on the Licensed Server, provided it acquires sufficient Licenses as described below.
  2. The number of Licenses required equals the number of Virtual Cores in the Virtual OSE, subject to a minimum of four Licenses per Virtual OSE.
  3. If any Virtual Core is at any time mapped to more than one Hardware Thread, Customer needs a License for each Hardware Thread to which it is mapped.
  4. Customer may reassign any of its Licenses to any of its Licensed Servers located within the same Server Farm as often as needed. Customer may also reassign these Licenses from one Server Farm to another, but not on a short-term basis (i.e., not within 90 days of the last assignment).
