In contrast to the User CAL, it does not license an individual user, but a device. This allows multiple employees to access the server via the same licensed device.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis licensing model is particularly suitable for companies where workstations are shared. Typical areas of application include shift operations, production, warehouses, workshops, reception areas, checkout areas, or training rooms. If several people use the same PC, a terminal, or a fixed workstation system, the Windows Server 2019 Device CAL is often an economical and clear solution.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a Windows Server 2019 Device CAL?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nA Device CAL entitles a specific device to access a correspondingly licensed Windows Server 2019. It does not matter which user uses this device. What is crucial is that the device has a valid Device CAL.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nExample: Several employees use the same PC in the warehouse, at a reception desk, or in the workshop. In this case, a Windows Server 2019 Device CAL for this device may be sufficient. The individual users do not need an additional User CAL to access via this licensed device.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Windows Server 2019 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, warehousing, or service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReception areas, checkout terminals, 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\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 the company's workflow. The Device CAL is ideal when multiple users share the same device. The User CAL, on the other hand, is useful when a user accesses the 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUser CAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 user is licensed and can access with multiple devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nIf several employees use the same workstation PC, a Device CAL is often the right choice. If, however, an employee works with a PC, laptop, and smartphone, a User CAL is usually more sensible.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a Windows Server 2019 CAL needed for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nA CAL is required in addition to the actual Windows Server license when users or devices access server services. These include, among others, file and print services, user management, network services, applications, or other server-based resources.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Windows Server 2019 Device CAL does not include Windows Server software and does not replace a server license. It exclusively regulates the access rights of a device to a correspondingly licensed Windows Server 2019 environment.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Bundle Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nOur Windows Server 2019 Device CALs are available in various quantities.

The Device CAL only grants a device access to the server. Depending on the services used, further licenses may be required, for example for Remote Desktop Services, Exchange Server, SQL Server, or other Microsoft server products.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConclusion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Windows Server 2019 Device CAL is the right choice for companies that want to license devices instead of individual users. Especially for shared workstations, shift operations, or fixed workstation systems, this licensing model offers a simple and economical solution for accessing Windows Server 2019.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Microsoft","offers":[{"title":"1 CAL","offer_id":55847698596180,"sku":"LQ-189198189651655","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 CALs","offer_id":55847698628948,"sku":"LQ-189198189651656","price":57.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 CALs","offer_id":55847698661716,"sku":"LQ-189198189651657","price":94.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"25 CALs","offer_id":55847698694484,"sku":"LQ-189198189651658","price":216.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"50 CALs","offer_id":55847698727252,"sku":"LQ-189198189651659","price":373.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/4276\/4628\/files\/server-2019-device-cal.webp?v=1779105562","url":"https:\/\/www.licensequeen.de\/en\/products\/windows-server-2019-device-cal","provider":"Licensequeen - Software Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
