Windows Server 2016 User CAL
Greater flexibility of your system
In order to use the full potential of an efficient server operating system, such as Microsoft Server 2016, it must have the most flexible structure and be adapted to the needs.
The so-called Client Access Licenses are additional licenses for companies that allow the server operating system to be extended to other users or devices and to provide them with full access to the system. Microsoft offers two versions of these licenses - User CAL and Device CAL.

What is the difference between User CALs and Device CALs?
Each user or device that is to connect to the server system must have a valid Microsoft Server 2016 license. A User CAL is a license assigned to a specific user. A Device CAL, on the other hand, is a license assigned to a device. As User CALs are tied to users, each licensed user receives personal system access data. This has the advantage that the user has full access to the system from any workplace. These licenses are not tied to devices like Device CALs.
When is it profitable to use a Microsoft Windows Server 2016 User CAL?
This is especially beneficial for companies and organizations that allow employees a flexible way of working, not tied to a specific computer in a stationary office. Thanks to licensing assigned to users, employees can use the system also through a connected home computer within their home office or through mobile devices, for example a corporate laptop. As a result, they have faster and more efficient access to the data they need.


Additional
As User CALs are available both individually and in packages, companies can always upgrade their systems as needed. In addition, Microsoft Windows Server 2016 User CALs can be freely combined with Device CALs. Ultimately, this means significant cost savings.
