Unlike the Device CAL, it does not license a specific device, but the user themselves. This allows the user to access the server with multiple devices, such as a PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis license type is particularly suitable for companies where employees work flexibly and regularly use multiple devices. The Windows Server 2025 User CAL is therefore a good choice for office workplaces, mobile employees, field service, home office environments, and modern work models with changing devices.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a Windows Server 2025 User CAL?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nA User CAL entitles a specific user to access a correspondingly licensed Windows Server 2025. It does not matter from which device the user accesses. The decisive factor is that the user has a valid User CAL.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nExample: An employee uses a desktop PC in the office, a laptop on the go, and a smartphone. In this case, one Windows Server 2025 User CAL is sufficient for this user. No additional individual Device CALs are required for each device.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Windows Server 2025 User CAL suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEmployees with multiple devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompanies with home office or hybrid work models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eField staff and mobile teams\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManagers, administrators, and office users\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 better depends on how your company operates. The User CAL is ideal when a user uses multiple devices. The Device CAL, on the other hand, is useful when multiple users share 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, on the other hand, 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 2025 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 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 2025 User CAL does not include 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 2025 environment.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Bundle Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nOur Windows Server 2025 User CALs are available in various quantities. This allows companies to choose their access licenses according to the number of users and expand them flexibly if needed.\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 2025 User CAL\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUser-based access license for Windows Server 2025\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 work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClear licensing by user\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEconomical if a user uses multiple end devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for Windows Server 2025 Standard and Datacenter environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLicensing Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nA suitable Windows Server 2025 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 2025 User CAL is the right choice for companies that want to license users instead of devices. Especially for employees with multiple end devices, mobile workplaces, or flexible work models, this license type offers a simple and economical solution for accessing Windows Server 2025.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Microsoft","offers":[{"title":"1 CAL","offer_id":55843663413588,"sku":null,"price":28.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 CALs","offer_id":55843663446356,"sku":null,"price":135.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 CALs","offer_id":55843663479124,"sku":"LQ-4984851615552","price":225.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"25 CALs","offer_id":55843663511892,"sku":null,"price":522.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"50 CALs","offer_id":55843663544660,"sku":"LQ-849848915135","price":882.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/4276\/4628\/files\/windows-server-2025-User-CAL.webp?v=1779065958","url":"https:\/\/www.licensequeen.de\/en\/products\/windows-server-2025-user-cal","provider":"Licensequeen - Software Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
