Windows Server 2012 R2 CALs - User & Device Access Licenses at LicensiX

With Windows Server 2012 R2 CALs (Client Access Licenses) you regulate the legal access to a Windows Server 2012 R2. In this category you will find suitable User CALs and Device CALs for existing company networks and proven server environments.

Windows Server 2012 R2 is still in use, especially in stable IT structures. Without the right CALs, however, license-compliant access by users or devices is not possible - regardless of whether they are local servers, virtual machines or hybrid scenarios.

What are Windows Server 2012 R2 CALs?

A Client Access License (CAL) is required as soon as a user or device accesses Windows Server 2012 R2 services - for example, file and print services, Active Directory, user management or server-based applications.

Important: CALs do not replace the server license itself. Complete licensing always consists of a Windows Server 2012 R2 license and the appropriate number of access licenses.

User CAL 2012 R2 or Device CAL 2012 R2 - which is better?

With Windows Server 2012 R2 - as with newer versions - two CAL models are available: User CALs and Device CALs. The choice depends on your way of working and device distribution.
