4. Lync - FAQ
Most customers have “free IM&P from Microsoft this comes with the “Standard” CAL (client access lic), this is why lots of customers think Lync is “free”
Lync Enterprise Voice requires “Enterprise and Plus CAL’s costing US$123 each ie. US$248
The UCA Client DOES NOT require the additional CAL’s to function, ie the customer integrating Avaya and Lync saves US248 per user
Avaya’s client “turns off” some native Lync features tying the customer to Avaya’s own video and conferencing products, the UCA Client DOES NOT do this
Avaya has it’s own free client that requires Aura 6.2
Avaya client “turns off” key Lync features that customers want, forcing either to buy AAC8 for conferencing, and Scopia for video. Most often at this stage the customer decides to “rip & replace” the entire Avaya estate to go “full” Lync 4
