Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Device CAL
Description
Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Device CAL: the smart licence for shared devices
License your shared workstations correctly and cost-effectively with a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Device CAL. This Client Access Licence (CAL) is not software. It is an official access right assigned to a specific device, such as a PC on the production floor, 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 2016 databases. Buy your genuine perpetual licence from Vollversion-Software and put the perfect licensing solution in place for shift-work environments.
What is an SQL Device CAL and when is it the right choice?
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 on shifts (production, logistics), at counters (retail, reception) or in shared areas (libraries, call centres).
- Maximum cost savings: When 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 licence management simple. 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 2016 User CAL is the better alternative.

Important licensing information
Please note that an SQL CAL is only valid together with the "Server + CAL" licensing model of SQL Server 2016 Standard. You must have:
- A valid licence for SQL Server 2016 Standard (Server + CAL edition).
- 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 2016 Device CAL for this one PC. That is cheaper than buying three SQL User CALs. You will of course also need the SQL Server 2016 Standard (Server + CAL) licence.
Where on the server do I install this licence?
Nowhere. Standard CALs are purely proof of licensing. You must keep the invoice and the licence documentation as evidence. There is no technical installation or activation on the server.
How does this differ from an SQL User CAL?
A Device CAL is assigned to one device, which can then be used by any number of users. A User CAL is assigned to one user, who can then access the server from any number of devices. Rule of thumb: if there are 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 2016 SQL CALs to access an SQL Server 2019 database?
No. SQL CALs (like Windows Server CALs) are not forward-compatible. To access SQL Server 2019, you need at least 2019 CALs.
