Microsoft's License Price Hike is a Downer for Enterprises
Analysts say that Microsoft's recent move to increase prices for its client-access licenses (CALs) may create a losing situation for enterprise customers, but is likely to provide a significant boost to Microsoft's revenue.
At the beginning of December, Microsoft completely overhauled their price charts of enterprise licensing. The most noted change among them was the increased cost of "user" CALs by 15 percent.
