Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Device CAL: the smart licence for shared devices

License your shared workstations correctly and cost-effectively with a Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Device CAL. This Client Access License (CAL) is not software but an official access right that is tied to a specific device, such as a PC in production, a kiosk terminal or a shared laptop in the office. Once licensed, any number of employees may use that device to access your SQL Server 2014 databases. Buy your official perpetual licence from Vollversion-Software and put the perfect licensing solution in place for shift-work environments.

What is a SQL Device CAL and when is it ideal?

The Device CAL is always the right choice when more people than devices need to access SQL Server.

  • Device-based licensing: You assign the licence to a computer, not to the employees who use it.
  • Ideal for shared workstations: Perfect for PCs used in shifts (production, logistics), at counters (retail, reception) or in shared areas (libraries, call centres).
  • Maximum savings: If several employees share one PC, a Device CAL is much cheaper than buying several individual User CALs.

Flexible licence packs for your whole infrastructure

We make managing your licences easier. This Device CAL is available individually and in handy packs for 5, 10, 25 or 50 devices.

If your employees use personal laptops and several devices, the user-based SQL Server 2014 User CAL is the better alternative.

Important licensing information

Please note that a SQL CAL is only valid in combination with the ‘Server + CAL’ licensing model of SQL Server 2014 Standard. You must have:

  1. A valid licence for SQL Server 2014 Standard (Server + CAL edition).
  2. These SQL Device CALs for every device that accesses the server.

Frequently asked questions

A PC in the workshop is used by 3 employees to access the SQL database. What do I need?

You need exactly one SQL Server 2014 Device CAL for this one PC. That is cheaper than buying three SQL User CALs. You will of course also need the SQL Server 2014 Standard (Server + CAL) licence.

Where on the server do I install this licence?

Nowhere. SQL CALs (like Standard Windows Server CALs) are purely legal proof of licensing. You must keep the invoice and the licence documentation as proof. There is no technical installation or activation on the server.

How does this differ from a SQL User CAL?

A Device CAL is tied to a device, which can then be used by any number of users. A User CAL is tied to a user, who can then access the server from any number of devices. Rule of thumb: if you have more users than devices, the Device CAL is cheaper.

Do these CALs also work if I have bought the core-based licence for SQL Server?

No. If you have licensed SQL Server per core, you need no CALs. CALs only apply to the ‘Server + CAL’ licensing model.

Can we use 2014 SQL CALs to access a SQL Server 2016 database?

No. SQL CALs (like Windows Server CALs) are not forward compatible. To access SQL Server 2016, you need at least 2016 CALs.
