Frequently Asked Questions
What is a User CAL?
A User Client Access License (CAL) grants a specific user the right to access services from a Windows Server, regardless of the device they use. This license is tied to the individual, not the machine.
Can one User CAL be used on multiple devices?
Yes, a User CAL is assigned to a specific user and allows that user to access the server from any device they are authorized to use.
What is the difference between a User CAL and a Device CAL?
A User CAL is for a specific user, while a Device CAL is for a specific device. If you have fewer users than devices accessing the server, Device CALs might be more cost-effective. If users access from multiple devices, User CALs are typically better.
Does this license include the Windows Server operating system itself?
No, this is a Client Access License (CAL) that grants access rights to the server. You must have a separate license for the Windows Server operating system.
