Microsoft SQL Server 2019 User CAL

CAL licenses (Client Access Licenses) are essential to ensure completely legal licensing and compliance with Microsoft regulations. At LICENZIO, you can purchase Microsoft SQL Server 2019 User CALs, as well as CAL licenses for other Microsoft products such as Windows Server, RDS, Exchange Server, and SQL Server, all with the necessary documentation and traceability to meet legal and efficiency standards.

What are Microsoft SQL Server CALs?

Microsoft CALs, such as the User CAL for SQL Server 2019, are permissions that authorize users or devices to access the services offered by a Microsoft server. Unlike standard licenses, CALs do not allow you to run the software itself, but they are necessary to connect to and use the services provided by the server. Every user or device connecting to the server must be covered by a valid CAL to comply with Microsoft’s licensing policies.

SQL Server 2019 CALs allow users to access the databases and services offered by SQL Server, which are essential for any company using this server software in their daily operations. While not as widely known as other software licenses, CALs are key to efficiently and legally managing enterprise network environments.

If your company uses products like SQL Server 2019, Windows Server, or Exchange Server, you will need the corresponding CAL licenses for users to access the services provided by these servers. This ensures that your company complies with Microsoft’s licensing regulations, avoiding penalties or legal issues in the future.

Types of CALs for Microsoft SQL Server 2019

1. User CAL (User License)

   User CALs are linked to a specific user who accesses the server and uses its services, such as databases, printing, storage, among others. It does not matter what device the user uses, as the license is associated with the individual and not the device.

   This is the ideal option for companies where employees need to access the server resources from multiple devices, such as laptops, workstations, or mobile devices. User CALs are particularly useful for companies with mobile workers or when users access network services from different locations.

   By choosing User CALs, companies can obtain a flexible and scalable licensing solution. It is convenient when the number of users is less than or equal to the number of devices, as each employee can use any device to access the server resources.

2. Device CAL (Device License)

   While we are discussing User CALs here, it is important to highlight Device CALs as a complementary option. Instead of licensing users, Device CALs are associated with specific devices, allowing multiple users to share a device without needing additional licenses for each user. This is especially useful in environments with shared devices, such as contact centers, factories, or areas with multiple shifts.

Benefits of User CALs for Microsoft SQL Server 2019

User CALs are ideal for companies that need a flexible licensing solution, where employees access SQL Server resources from multiple devices. This is common in companies with distributed teams, remote workers, or those who use different devices during their workday. By opting for User CALs, your company can ensure full compliance with Microsoft’s licensing policies, avoiding violations and optimizing employees’ access to server services efficiently.

Microsoft SQL Server 2019 CAL Version Compatibility

User CAL licenses for Microsoft SQL Server 2019 are compatible with earlier versions of the server, such as SQL Server 2016 and 2014. However, they do not allow access to later versions, such as SQL Server 2022. It is important for your company to consider which versions of SQL Server are used in its infrastructure when selecting the appropriate CALs.
