SharePoint Server 2016 CALs - User access licenses for structured collaboration

With SharePoint Server 2016 CALs, we regulate license-compliant access to Microsoft SharePoint Server 2016. As soon as users access intranet sites, document libraries, lists or workflows, corresponding Client Access Licenses are required.

SharePoint Server 2016 continues to be used productively in many companies - especially in classic on-premises environments where stability, compatibility and control over data are paramount. CAL licensing ensures clear and audit-proof user access here.

What are SharePoint Server 2016 CALs?

A SharePoint Server 2016 CAL is an access license that is required in addition to the actual server license. It entitles users to use SharePoint functions such as document management, collaboration in teams, version control and search functions.

The server license alone only covers the technical operation of the SharePoint server. Only with the right number of CALs is user access fully regulated in accordance with the license.
