Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Device CAL?
A Device Client Access License (CAL) grants a specific device the right to access services from a Windows Server. This is distinct from a User CAL, which grants a specific user access regardless of the device they use.
Is this a perpetual license or a subscription?
This is a subscription-based license. It provides access for a defined period and requires renewal, offering a predictable operational expense.
What version of Windows Server does this apply to?
Microsoft CALs are generally backward compatible, meaning a newer CAL can be used with older versions of Windows Server. However, it is always best to consult Microsoft's licensing documentation for specific version compatibility.
