Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Device CAL

Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Device CAL – license with legal certainty, available instantly by email.

With the Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Device CAL you license a specific device to access your SQL Server. Ideal when several people access in turn via the same PC or a terminal – one device, any number of users on exactly that device. At Software-Dealz you get a perpetual licence as original software from legally compliant and unused licences, instantly by email and with instructions. Our support is available via TeamViewer if you wish; payment is secure – purchase on invoice is also available on request.

Make sure of compliance and cost transparency with the right Device CAL if, in your scenario, devices rather than people are to be licensed. This CAL complements the SQL Server 2017 server licence in the Server+CAL model and gives the licensed device proper access.

Features

• Device-bound access licence (Device CAL): One device receives access rights to SQL Server.
• Perpetual licence: Right of use with no time limit.
• Original & legally compliant: Unused licences with clean proof of licence.
• Instantly by email: Fast delivery incl. instructions for assignment/documentation.
• Support via TeamViewer: Personal help with setup and questions.
• Secure payments & purchase on invoice: Order flexibly and without risk.
• For Server+CAL licensing of SQL Server 2017: Suitable for device-focused environments.
• Downgrade access: 2017 CALs also entitle you to access older SQL Server versions.
• Flexible combination in the business: Device and User CALs can be used in parallel as needed (correctly licensed for each access).
• Transparent compliance: Clear assignment per device – ideal for shared workstations and kiosks.

Benefits & value

Cost control for shared devices: If several employees use the same PC (e.g. shift operations, lab, production, helpdesk), a Device CAL is often more economical than individual User CALs.

Legally compliant and traceable: You document the licence against a clearly defined end device – this simplifies audits and internal records.

Planning security through a perpetual licence: Licensed once, usable permanently. No automatic renewal or ongoing costs.

Ready to go quickly: Delivery is immediate by email. If you wish, our team supports you via TeamViewer with clean licence assignment and documentation.

Compatibility & licence notes

The Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Device CAL is designed for the Server+CAL licensing model of SQL Server. For correct licensing you need:

• A valid SQL Server server licence (e.g. SQL Server 2017 Standard or Enterprise) in Server+CAL mode.
• One Device CAL per accessing device that accesses the SQL Server. Several people may access via this one licensed device.
• Version rule: The CAL version must be the same as or newer than the server version. A 2017 CAL grants access to SQL Server 2017 and to earlier versions (e.g. 2016, 2014, 2012). Access to newer server versions requires correspondingly newer CALs.
• Not included: This is not a server licence and not a software installation. It is an access licence.
• Alternative model: Core-based SQL Server licences do not need CALs; this Device CAL is not intended for them.
• Mixed operation: You can use Device and User CALs in parallel in the organisation – depending on the access scenario.

The Device CAL can be used independently of language and edition within the Server+CAL licensing model of SQL Server 2017. Technical system requirements come primarily from your SQL Server installation; the CAL itself has no hardware requirements.
