What are CALs (Client Access Licenses) anyway?

A server licence on its own only allows you to install the operating system on your hardware. For your employees or devices to actually be allowed to access it, you also need so-called Client Access Licenses, or CALs for short. They are the key that legally allows access to the services of your server.

• User CALs: The ideal choice for employees with several devices. You license one person, who can then access the server from their PC in the office, their laptop at home or their smartphone on the move.
• Device CALs: Perfect for devices used by several people, e.g. in shift work or at an information terminal. Here the device is licensed, and every user may access the server from that device.

The right Windows Server edition for your requirements

Microsoft offers various server editions tailored to different needs. Here are the most important ones at a glance:

• Windows Server Essentials: The entry-level solution for small businesses with up to 25 users. The big advantage: no additional CALs are needed! Licensing is processor-based (max. 1 CPU / 10 cores).
• Windows Server Standard: The all-rounder for physical or only slightly virtualised environments. This edition offers the full range of Windows Server features and requires a matching CAL for every user or device that accesses it.
• Windows Server Datacenter: The premium solution for heavily virtualised data centres and cloud environments. It offers all the features of the Standard edition, but with the decisive advantage of unlimited virtualisation rights. CALs are required here too.

SQL Server: choose the right licensing model

There are two basic licensing models for Microsoft SQL Server that you should know about:

• Server + CAL: You buy a licence for the server and, in addition, CALs for every user or device that accesses it. This model often suits environments with a precisely known and manageable number of accesses.
• Core-based: Here you license the physical processor cores of the server. The advantage: you no longer need CALs, and an unlimited number of users and devices can access the server. Ideal for large applications or web services.
