Windows Server 2016 Device CAL
Description
Windows Server 2016 Device CAL – efficient, device-based access in your business. Get yours now.
With the Windows Server 2016 Device CAL, you get the access licence you need for a specific device in your Windows Server environment. At Software-Dealz, you receive legally compliant licences from trustworthy sources. After your purchase, we send you all licence documents instantly by email, including clear notes on activation and documentation. Our support team helps you personally and, if you wish, via TeamViewer. Pay conveniently – for example with purchase on invoice.
The Device CAL (Client Access License) entitles exactly one device (e.g. PC, thin client, terminal) to access the services of a Windows Server 2016 – regardless of who uses that device. This is particularly practical in shift operations and with shared workstations.
Features
- Licence type: Windows Server 2016 Device CAL (per device)
- Perpetual licence: buy once, use permanently – no subscription
- Proof of licence: legally compliant, documented licences
- Instantly by email: licence documents delivered once your order is received
- Support included: personal help, via TeamViewer on request
- Secure payments: including purchase on invoice
- Transparency: clear licence documents for audits and compliance
Benefits & value
With a Device CAL, you license access to your Windows Server 2016 per device. The model pays off wherever several people use the same device – for example at the front office, in production, in the warehouse or in training rooms. In contrast to the User CAL, which licenses a single user, the Device CAL is often the more economical choice for shared devices.
Software-Dealz offers you a safe shopping experience: you receive traceable, legally compliant licence documents and fast delivery by email. Our experts advise you on questions about the CAL model and correct documentation – from selection to audit records.
Compatibility & licence notes
- Server + CAL model: For Windows Server 2016, you need CALs for all accessing users or devices in addition to the server licence.
- Device CAL: This licence entitles exactly one device to access Windows Server 2016 services.
- Version link: CALs should match the server version in use. If in doubt, check the Microsoft requirements on versions and possible downgrade/upgrade scenarios.
- Editions: The CAL requirements apply regardless of Standard, Datacenter or Essentials; please check edition-specific details in advance.
- RDS/Terminal Services: Additional RDS CALs are required for Remote Desktop Services (to be licensed separately).
- No installation: CALs are rights of use; as a rule, no software is installed on the client.
Note: This Device CAL is designed for device-based access. If many employees work on the move or often change devices, the User CAL may be more suitable.
Alternatives & recommendations
- Do you also need the server licence? Take a look at Windows Server 2016 Standard.
- For more modern environments, we recommend Windows Server 2019 Standard or Windows Server 2022 Standard.
- You will find more products for this version in the Windows Server 2016 collection.
