If you purchase Windows Server 2016, you will receive a server license that entitles you to install and use the server operating system on your device. To connect to other devices, you need Windows Server 2016 Device CALs (Client Access Licenses). These are device licenses that entitle you to access the server and all data on it from the licensed devices.

Verify individual devices with Windows 2016 Device CAL

With device licenses, your organization can easily determine which devices should get access to the server. Individual licensing allows you to connect as many devices as you need. With this package, you get ten Windows Server 2016 Device CALs that you can use on any device. Unlike User CALs, which are tied to a specific user and can be used irrespective of the device, Device CALs are always tied to a specific device.

Exploit resources optimally together

Device CALs are ideal for companies where multiple employees are working on one device. With Windows Server 2016 Device CALs, you do not have to acquire access per employee but only per device. Whether this form of licensing is suitable for you depends on your company structure and should be carefully considered. By choosing the right CALs you can work cost-effectively and save resources. Device CALs and User CALs can also be combined. However, you can not split them. A CAL is always tied to its purpose.

For example, you can use Windows Server 2016 Device CALs for Windows Server 2016 Standard or Windows Server 2016 DataCenter.

Note: When you purchase Device CALs, you receive a document that identifies you as the legitimate user of the licenses.
