    Hi Meter,

    Since you mentioning EP2013, then we are looking at AX2012 R2 here.

    There are 4 types of user CALs in Dynamics AX 2012 R2 - Enterprise, Functional, Task, and Self Serve. The number of CALs needed is related to who these users are and what they do.

    e.g.

    - External users (customers/vendors) don't need CALs to access EP.

    - If all these 100 users are only entering personal HR information, then they can all be using Self server CAL, which is pretty cheap.

    To get a decent estimation, you will need to define what these 100 users would do; then contact a vendor or Microsoft to get their assessment on how many CALs of each type is needed.

    You can refer to this guide for more information on AX2012 R2 licensing:

    Hi Dominic,

    thank you for your answer. I just want to add a question. You are saying, that you have to focus on AX 2012 R2 CALs when speaking of Enterprise Portal 2013. So my question is: Do I have to license EP2013 too or is it included in the AX 2012 R2 CAL? I thought you need also a complete licensed SharePoint environment.

    best regards

    Hi Viktor,

    You don't need a separate license for Enterprise Portal, think of it as a module in AX. However, you might need a license for the SharePoint software which host the EP, depending of which version of SharePoint you use. (blog.blksthl.com/.../sharepoint-2013-feature-comparison-chart-all-editions)

    Also, if you are hosting Enterprise Portal in a stand alone server, Windows Server license will be needed.
