Microsoft Windows Server 2019 English DSP 5 User Cals

*CALs are required for every user or device accessing a server.

Microsoft Windows Server Client Access Licenses (CALs)
A Windows Server CAL is a license that allows customers to access Windows Server. CALs are used in conjunction with Microsoft Windows Server OS licenses to allow Users and/or Devices to access and utilize the services of that server OS.

What are the different types of CALs?

• User CALs allow a single user access to Windows Server from an unlimited number of devices.
• Device CALs allow an unlimited number of users to access Windows Server from a single device.

User CALs

With the User CAL, you purchase a CAL for every user who accesses the server to use services such as file storage or printing, regardless of the number of devices they use for that access. Purchasing a User CAL might make more sense if your company's employees need to have roaming access to the corporate network by using multiple devices, or from unknown devices, or if you simply have more devices than users in your organization.
