Windows Server 2008 CALs - User & Device Access Licenses at LicensiX

With Windows Server 2008 CALs (Client Access Licenses) you regulate the legal access to a Windows Server 2008. In this category you will find suitable User CALs and Device CALs for existing company networks and legacy server environments.

In mature IT structures in particular, Windows Server 2008 continues to run in individual areas - for example for older applications or special systems. The right CALs are essential to ensure that user or device access remains license-compliant.

What are Windows Server 2008 CALs?

A Client Access License (CAL) is an access license that is required as soon as a user or device accesses Windows Server 2008 services - for example, file and print services, user administration, authentication or server-based applications.

Important: CALs do not replace the server license itself, but supplement it. Complete licensing always consists of a Windows Server 2008 license and the appropriate number of access licenses.

User CAL 2008 or Device CAL 2008 - which is better?

There are two CAL models available for Windows Server 2008: User CALs and Device CALs. Which variant is more suitable depends on your device and user structure.

CAL type	CAL type Description	Typical areas of application
User CAL 2008	A user may access the server with several end devices	Office workstations, employees with PC + notebook, occasional mobile working
Device CAL 2008	A fixed device may be used by any number of users	Shift operation, terminal PCs, shared workstations, production or storage areas

Useful addition: server and Microsoft environment

Windows Server 2008 CALs are typically used together with a Windows Server 2008 license and - depending on the workstations - with classic Office licenses. For mixed infrastructures, it is also worth taking a look at our Windows Server overview.

In this way, your existing IT structure remains predictable and properly licensed - even if individual systems are deliberately kept in operation.
