We recently purchased Windows Server 2012, SQL Server 2012, Sharepoint Server 2013, and Project Server 2013. I have installed and configured Windows Server, SQL Server, and Sharepoint Server and have things running as they should be.
I went to install Project Server (two weeks ago now) and received a message about it requiring Sharepoint Server "Enterprise" version? I asked our software purchasing people who in turn asked the university MS sales rep (since for some reason I am not allowed to speak with the almighty MS sales rep) and received a reply that there is no "enterprise" version and that all I need to do is buy CAL's to enable the Enterprise features of Sharepoint. Can anybody elaborate on this?
Between my university software purchasing department and Microsoft support, I have been getting a HUGE run-around on this issue.
After a few back and forth communications with our purchasing department, I was given a Microsoft SA ID to use in order to get support for this only to find out that the SA ID doesn't cover what I'm asking. I am past the point of anger over this (imagine hysterical laughter here) as here I am able to spend a lot of money to purchase these Microsoft products and they don't even work together, nor can i get any assistance with it.
Is there such a version as Sharepoint "enterprise" that I can simply upgrade to? or is this a "CAL" licensing issue? and if so, where exactly can i got to purchase these CALs? I was told that I just needed to sign on with the SA ID and I would be able to purchase them but I don't believe this is the case.
I just want to be able to install Project Server and begin configuring it with Sharepoint to manage our projects as we currently do with WSS 3 (12.0.0.6608) and Project Server 2007. Our goal was to upgrade to the newest Sharepoint/Project server versions so we could take advantage of new features and migrate our content mangement system to Sharepoint...this has become more trouble than it should be.
