Unlike the User CAL, it does not license an individual user, but rather the device itself. This allows multiple employees to access the SQL Server via the same licensed device.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis type of license is particularly suitable for companies where workstations are shared. Typical areas of application include shift operations, production, warehouses, workshops, reception areas, cash register areas, or training rooms. If multiple people use the same PC, terminal, or fixed workstation system for database-driven applications, the SQL Server 2022 Device CAL is often an economical and clear solution.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a SQL Server 2022 Device CAL?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nA Device CAL entitles a specific device to access Microsoft SQL Server 2022. It does not matter which user operates this device. The crucial factor is that the device has a valid SQL Server 2022 Device CAL.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nExample: Several employees use the same PC in the warehouse, production, or at reception to access a merchandise management system, an ERP system, a CRM system, or another SQL-based application. In this case, a single Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Device CAL for this device may be sufficient. The individual users do not need an additional User CAL for access via this licensed device.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Device CAL suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompanies with shared workstations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShift operations in production, warehouse, or service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReception areas, cash registers, and workshop PCs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchools, training rooms, and public workstations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrganizations with fewer devices than users\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkstations with access to ERP, CRM, merchandise management, or reporting systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDevice CAL or User CAL – which is better?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nWhether a Device CAL or a User CAL is more suitable depends on how the SQL Server is accessed in your company. The Device CAL is ideal when multiple users share the same device. The User CAL, on the other hand, is useful when one user accesses the SQL Server with multiple devices.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDevice CAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 device is licensed and can be used by multiple users for access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUser CAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 user is licensed and can access the SQL Server with multiple devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nIf multiple employees use the same workstation PC, a Device CAL is often the appropriate choice.

The CAL governs the access of users or devices to the SQL Server and the databases or applications provided on it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Device CAL does not include SQL Server software and does not replace a server license. It is solely an access license for a device. For operation, a suitable Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Server license is additionally required.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Bundle Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nOur Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Device CALs are available in various quantities.

The Device CAL only authorizes a device's access to the SQL Server. If other Microsoft server services are used, additional access licenses may be required, for example, Windows Server CALs, RDS CALs, or other product-specific CALs.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConclusion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Device CAL is the right choice for companies that want to license devices instead of individual users for access to SQL Server 2022. Especially for shared workstations, shift operations, or fixed workstation systems, this license type offers a simple and economical solution for accessing database-driven applications and corporate data.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Microsoft","offers":[{"title":"1 CAL","offer_id":55847957823828,"sku":"LQ-8941981158651","price":90.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 CALs","offer_id":55847957856596,"sku":"LQ-8941981158652","price":396.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 CALs","offer_id":55847957889364,"sku":"LQ-8941981158653","price":675.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"25 CALs","offer_id":55847957922132,"sku":"LQ-8941981158654","price":1530.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"50 CALs","offer_id":55847957954900,"sku":"LQ-8941981158655","price":2520.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/4276\/4628\/files\/Microsoft_SQL_Server_2022_Standard_Device_CAL.webp?v=1779106833","url":"https:\/\/www.licensequeen.de\/en\/products\/microsoft-sql-server-2022-device-cal","provider":"Licensequeen - Software Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
