Windows Server 2012 R2 - 1 Device CAL

When you purchase a version of Windows Server 2012 R2, you purchase a server license that entitles you to install the operating system on the server. For each device that is to be connected to the server, you need your own device license, also called Device CAL.

Each device requires its own Windows 2012 R2 Device CAL

Windows Server 2012 R2 Device CALs (Client Access Licenses) allow authorized devices to access the server and the data stored there. Unlike User CALs, also called user licenses, Device CALs for Windows Server 2012 R2 are tied to a specific device, not to a specific user. There are no individual access data per user-assigned, instead only per device. That is, with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Device CALs, any employee can access the server from a licensed machine. This model is ideal for companies that have fixed workstations where sometimes different employees need access to the server.

Easily connect all devices with the server

The number of Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Device CALs you need to buy depends on how many devices need access to the server. With a Device CAL, you can access the server from one device. You can expand your Windows Server 2012 R2 Device CALs to access the server from any device in your organization. Adjust the required amount of CALs exactly to your needs, work cost-efficiently and save resources.

Note: Device CALs and User CALs can be combined but not split. They are always tied to their purpose.

For example, a Windows 2012 R2 Device CAL can be used with Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 DataCenter.

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