Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Device CAL?
A Device CAL (Client Access License) is a type of license that is assigned to a device, such as a desktop computer or laptop. Any user can then use that specific device to access the server software. This is different from a User CAL, which is assigned to an individual user.
What is the difference between Standard CAL and Enterprise CAL?
An Enterprise CAL provides all the features of a Standard CAL plus additional advanced functionality. For Skype for Business, Enterprise CALs typically unlock features related to advanced conferencing, archiving, and compliance.
Is this a subscription or a perpetual license?
This is a perpetual license, meaning you purchase it once and own the rights to use that specific version of the software indefinitely. It is not a subscription that requires ongoing payments.
