Microsoft SQL Server 2016 User CAL: the flexible licence for your employees

License your employees correctly for access to your database applications with a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 User CAL. This Client Access Licence is not software. It is an official access right assigned to a specific user (one employee). It is the ideal choice for modern workplaces where employees work flexibly across several devices. Buy your genuine perpetual licence from Vollversion-Software and make sure every employee in your company is licensed in an audit-proof way.

What is an SQL User CAL and when is it the right choice?

The User CAL is the best choice for companies with employees who work flexibly. The principle is "one user, many devices".

  • User-based licensing: You assign the licence to an employee, not to their devices.
  • Maximum flexibility: The licensed employee can access the SQL Server databases from all their devices – office PC, home office laptop, tablet, smartphone.
  • Ideal for mobile working: The perfect solution for field staff and employees who are not tied to a fixed workstation.

Licence packs for every company size

We make licence management simple. This User CAL is available individually and in cost-effective packs for 5, 10, 25 or 50 users.

For computers shared by several people on shift work, we recommend the device-based SQL Server 2016 Device CAL as a potentially cheaper alternative.

Your benefits at Vollversion-software.de

  • Genuine original licences: You receive official, audit-proof licences for your company.
  • Fast delivery by email: Your licence key is delivered digitally within a few minutes of purchase.
  • Secure payment methods: We protect your transactions with SSL-encrypted data transfer.

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:

  1. A valid licence for SQL Server 2016 Standard (Server + CAL edition).
  2. These SQL User CALs for every employee who accesses the server.

Frequently asked questions

An employee accesses the SQL database with their PC and laptop. How many licences do I need?

You only need one SQL Server 2016 User CAL for this employee. The licence covers all their devices, so it is the perfect choice.

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 Device CAL?

A User CAL is assigned to one user, who can then access the server from any number of devices. A Device CAL is assigned to one device, which can then be used by any number of users. Rule of thumb: if employees have several devices, the User CAL is the better choice.

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 I also use this CAL to access a Windows Server file share?

No. SQL Server CALs are entirely separate and only apply to access to SQL Server. To access Windows Server services (files, printing), you need separate Windows Server CALs.
