Unlike the Device CAL, it does not license a specific device, but rather the user themselves. This allows the user to access the server with multiple devices, such as a desktop PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis licensing model is particularly suitable for companies where employees work flexibly or regularly use multiple end devices. The Windows Server 2022 User CAL is therefore ideal for office workstations, home offices, field service, mobile teams, and modern work environments with changing devices.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a Windows Server 2022 User CAL?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nA User CAL entitles a specific user to access a correspondingly licensed Windows Server 2022. It does not matter from which device the user accesses the server. What is crucial is that the user has a valid User CAL.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nExample: An employee uses a PC in the office, a laptop on the go, and a smartphone in addition. In this case, one Windows Server 2022 User CAL is sufficient for this user. No additional Device CALs are required for each individual device.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Windows Server 2022 User CAL suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEmployees with multiple end devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompanies with home office or hybrid work models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eField service employees and mobile teams\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOffice users, administrators, and executives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrganizations with more devices than users\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUser CAL or Device CAL – which is better?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nWhether a User CAL or a Device CAL is more suitable depends on the working methods in the company. The User CAL makes sense when a user uses multiple devices. The Device CAL, on the other hand, is more suitable when multiple users use the same device.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDevice CAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 device is licensed and can be used by multiple users.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nFor example, if an employee works with a PC, laptop, and smartphone, the User CAL is usually the right choice. If several employees use the same PC in the warehouse, reception, or production, a Device CAL can be more economical.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is a Windows Server 2022 CAL needed?\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 2022 User CAL does not contain Windows Server software and does not replace a server license. It exclusively regulates a user's right of access to a correspondingly licensed Windows Server 2022 environment.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Bundle Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nOur Windows Server 2022 User CALs are available in various quantities. This allows companies to select their access licenses according to the number of users and flexibly expand them if necessary.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 User CAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 User CALs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 User CALs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e25 User CALs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50 User CALs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Advantages with the Windows Server 2022 User CAL\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUser-based access license for Windows Server 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for employees with multiple devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for office, home office, field service, and mobile working\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClear licensing by user\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEconomical when a user uses multiple end devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for Windows Server 2022 Standard and Datacenter environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNote on Licensing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nA suitable Windows Server 2022 server license is additionally required for operation. The User CAL only authorizes a user's 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 2022 User CAL is the right choice for companies that want to license users instead of devices. Especially for employees with multiple end devices, mobile workstations, or flexible work models, this licensing model offers a simple and economical solution for accessing Windows Server 2022.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Microsoft","offers":[{"title":"1 CAL","offer_id":55847653081428,"sku":"LQ-1894198165158","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 CALs","offer_id":55847653114196,"sku":"LQ-1894198165159","price":85.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 CALs","offer_id":55847653146964,"sku":"LQ-1894198165160","price":166.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"25 CALs","offer_id":55847653179732,"sku":"LQ-1894198165161","price":364.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"50 CALs","offer_id":55847653212500,"sku":"LQ-1894198165162","price":616.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/4276\/4628\/files\/windows-server-2022-User.webp?v=1779105004","url":"https:\/\/www.licensequeen.de\/en\/products\/windows-server-2022-user-cal","provider":"Licensequeen - Software Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
