Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Device CAL

Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Device CAL (Client Access License)

CAL (Client Access License) licenses are crucial for ensuring legal and compliant licensing in many cases. At LICENZIO, you can purchase Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Device CALs, as well as CAL licenses for Windows Server, RDS, Exchange Server, and SQL Server, all with the necessary documentation and traceability to ensure full compliance.

What are Microsoft SQL Server CALs?

Microsoft CALs (Client Access Licenses) are permissions that grant users or devices legal access to services on a Microsoft server, such as Microsoft SQL Server 2019. CALs do not permit the running of software directly but are essential for enabling users or devices to connect to and use the server services. It’s important to ensure that each user or device accessing a Microsoft server is covered by a valid CAL, as this is required to meet Microsoft’s licensing policies and avoid potential legal issues.

If your organization utilizes Microsoft SQL Server 2019 or other Microsoft server products, you’ll need CALs to grant access to users or devices. This is essential for ensuring a fully compliant network environment. CALs may not be as widely known as other software licenses, but they are critical for the efficient and secure management of business networks.

Types of CALs for Microsoft SQL Server 2019

1. Device CALA Device CAL for Microsoft SQL Server 2019 is tied to a specific device rather than a user. This means that the license allows any number of users to access SQL Server 2019 services from a single device. This type of license is ideal for environments where devices are shared between multiple users, such as in manufacturing settings or customer service centers.

   With a Device CAL, businesses can cost-effectively manage licensing in situations where the number of devices exceeds the number of users. For example, multiple employees may use a single workstation at different times, which makes the Device CAL the perfect solution for compliance with Microsoft’s licensing requirements.

2. User CALUser CAL licenses, on the other hand, are associated with individual users and are ideal for businesses where employees use multiple devices to access SQL Server services. User CALs are perfect for environments where employees frequently change devices, such as mobile workers, or if a user requires access from various workstations, laptops, or even mobile devices.

Why Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Device CAL is Essential for Your Business

To legally access Microsoft SQL Server 2019, each device must be properly licensed through a Device CAL. This is particularly important in industries that rely on shared devices and need to ensure compliance with Microsoft’s licensing policies. The Device CAL provides businesses with the flexibility to manage licensing efficiently and in a cost-effective manner, especially when dealing with multiple shifts and shared hardware resources.

Version Compatibility of Microsoft SQL Server CALs

When purchasing Device CALs for Microsoft SQL Server 2019, your CALs will be compatible with SQL Server 2019, SQL Server 2016, and SQL Server 2014. However, it is important to note that these CALs do not grant access to later versions, such as SQL Server 2022. It’s crucial to consider your system’s versioning needs when making a CAL purchase to ensure future scalability.
