Hi,
We're planning to migrate mailbox users from Exchange 2016 to O365 (hybrid) with ADFS. Someone tells us that we have to buy core cal bridge. However, we're not sure what is a core cal bridge and why we have to buy core cal bridge while we already buy Office 365 E1 and Office 365 E3.
Could someone help me to answer my question?
Thank a lot.
Regards,
Giap.
Core CAL Bridge isn't must needed for Exchange hybrid with ADFS. If the suggestion below helps, please be free to mark it as an answer for helping more people.
Thank you, However, My company has 300 user, then i only move 100 users first to O365. So should we buy Core CAL Bridge or not?
If we still have to buy it, could we buy for only 10 or 20 Core CAL bridge instead of 100.
Regards,
Giap.
Thank you, David,
I'm working with third party seller, they said that we have to buy it. Because, at on-premise side, we're still using other services, or application such us File Server, SCCM,... so for all users is migrated to O365, they still need Core CAL Bridge to work with those applications at on-premise.
(My company has 300 users. We will only move 100 users to O365 to use email, team,....)
OK, in that case see my answer above on what it is :)
Please accept as answer so we can close this up. Thanks!
If you still need to use other services. You will need to buy it due to the other services demand.
Thank you so much,
Regards,
Giap.

No one here can answer if you need this however, you need to talk to Microsoft Licensing Rep or a third party reseller.
