External Connector licensing on SharePoint
So, as the Yammer event on Tuesday this week, a couple of questions were raised about SharePoint and external users...I will try and explain the situ as best I can here to try and give some clarity:
If you have SharePoint 2013, external users are now covered by the Server license, no need for the old "External Connector license".
If you have SharePoint 2010, you must have SA on these licenses in order to use the use rights from SharePoint 2013 - IE. No external connector license needed if you have SA.
Make sense? :) Further info can be found here -
