Windows Server CAL

Windows Server CALs: the official key to your network

Have you licensed your Windows Server? Perfect! The next crucial step is to give your users and devices legal access. That is exactly what you need Client Access Licenses (CALs) for. At Software-Dealz you will find the right User CALs and Device CALs for your server version – and, as always, up to 70% cheaper, completely legally compliant and available instantly.

User CAL vs. Device CAL: which licence is right for you?

Choosing the right CAL depends entirely on how people work in your business. Both variants have their own advantages:

• User CAL (user licence): Ideal for flexible employees. You license a specific user, who may then access the server services from all of their devices – whether a desktop PC in the office, a laptop at home or a tablet on the move.
• Device CAL (device licence): The perfect solution for shared workstations. You license a specific device, such as a computer in production or a till PC. Any user may then access the server from that one licensed device.

Special case: Remote Desktop Services (RDS) CALs

If you want to give your employees remote access to the server in order to use complete desktops or individual applications, you also need Remote Desktop Services (RDS) CALs in addition to the standard CALs. You can find these with us too, as a User or Device variant.

Important compatibility rules for CALs

When choosing your licences, please follow one golden rule: the version of your CAL must be the same as or newer than the version of your server. A simple example:

• A Windows Server 2022 CAL entitles you to access a server running Windows Server 2022, 2019 or 2016.
• A Windows Server 2019 CAL, on the other hand, is not valid for access to a Windows Server 2022.
