Microsoft 365 & Windows Server Licensing in Saudi Arabia
Business licensing for organisations across the Kingdom — Microsoft 365 email and productivity plans, and Windows Server with the Client Access Licences that go with it. We size the licence count, supply it through authorised distribution, and deploy it in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. Corporate and government licensing only; we do not sell consumer retail packs.
Licensing Is Where Saudi Organisations Get Caught Out
Under-licensing surfaces at audit, over-licensing quietly bills you every month, and unlicensed Client Access Licences are the single most common finding on a Windows Server estate. Getting the count right the first time is most of the value.
Business Email on Your Own Domain
Exchange mailboxes on your company domain rather than free consumer accounts — with the shared calendars, distribution lists and retention controls that a Saudi organisation is expected to have.
Server Workloads, Licensed Properly
Windows Server is licensed by physical core, and every user or device touching it needs a CAL. We count both against your actual hardware and headcount instead of guessing.
Evidence for NCA ECC and SAMA
Identity, device management and conditional access are controls a regulator expects to see enforced, not described. The right Microsoft 365 tier puts them in place rather than leaving them on a policy document.
One Supplier for Licence and Deployment
Buying the licence and migrating the mailboxes from two different companies is how projects stall. We do both, so responsibility for the result sits in one place.

Which Microsoft License Does Your Organisation Need?
The decisions that actually change the invoice are whether staff need installed desktop apps, whether security and device control must be enforced, and how many servers and users sit behind it.
Email Only
Exchange Online Plan 1, or Microsoft 365 Business Basic if you also want Teams and the browser versions of Office. The route for moving mail off an on-premises server without relicensing every application.
Email Plus Desktop Office
Microsoft 365 Business Standard: the same Exchange email, with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook installed on each machine. The common choice for an office of up to 300 staff.
Security and Device Control
Microsoft 365 Business Premium adds Defender for Business, Intune device management and conditional access — the tier to look at when a regulator or a client security questionnaire asks how company laptops are controlled.
Beyond 300 Users
Microsoft 365 E3 removes the 300-seat ceiling the Business plans carry and brings enterprise identity and compliance tooling. The step most organisations take as headcount grows past a few hundred.
Windows Server and CALs
Standard for a server running a couple of virtual machines, Datacenter once virtualisation density rises — plus a Client Access Licence for every user or device that connects. The CAL count is the part most often missed.
Why License Through Shabackat
Software licensing is where non-genuine keys cause the most damage, because the problem surfaces at activation or at audit rather than on the day of purchase — and an audit finding is far more expensive than the licence was.
Genuine, Authorised Stock
Every Microsoft licence we supply comes through authorised distribution — not a resold or region-locked key that fails at activation or cannot be transferred later.
We Size It Before We Quote It
Tell us the user count, the server hardware and how staff actually work, and we will quote the licence mix that fits — including the CALs most quotations leave out.
Deployed Across the Kingdom
Delivery, deployment and mailbox migration across Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam, with tenancies and licences registered to the organisation rather than to one employee's personal account.
Local Support
Locally based support teams under defined service-level agreements, so renewals, seat changes and tenancy questions are handled inside the Kingdom rather than in an overseas queue.
Migration Included, Not Extra
Our team moves existing mail, files and accounts onto the new tenancy and configures it, so the licence you buy is running for your staff rather than sitting unassigned in a portal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We supply corporate and government licensing — Microsoft 365 business and enterprise plans, Windows Server and Client Access Licences. We do not sell consumer retail packs such as Personal or Family.
Yes. We handle the whole migration — setting up the tenancy on your own domain, moving existing mailboxes, calendars and contacts across, and configuring Outlook on staff devices. This is normally done alongside supplying the licences rather than as a separate project.
Business plans (Basic, Standard, Premium) are capped at 300 seats and are priced for small and mid-sized organisations. Enterprise plans such as E3 have no seat ceiling and add enterprise identity, compliance and device-management tooling. Most organisations move across when headcount passes a few hundred.
Yes — the server licence covers the server, not the people using it. Every user or device that connects needs a CAL, bought per user or per device depending on which count is lower for you. Missing CALs are the most common licensing gap we find on an existing Windows Server estate.
Because licence pricing depends on the plan, the number of users, the term and the server core count — a published figure would be wrong for almost everyone. Send us your numbers and we will quote them, same day for anything we hold in stock.
Yes. We deliver and deploy across Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. Licence provisioning and mailbox migration are largely remote work, so the tenancy side can start before anyone is on site.
Yes. Send us what you currently hold and we will check it against your actual user count, devices and server cores. Organisations are usually paying for seats nobody uses while being short on Client Access Licences at the same time.
