Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Device CAL
Description
Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Device CAL: the smart licence for shared devices
License your shared workstations correctly and cost-efficiently with a Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Device CAL. This Client Access Licence (CAL) is not software, but an official access entitlement 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 2022 databases. Buy your official perpetual licence from Vollversion-Software and implement the perfect licensing solution for shift-work environments.
What is an SQL Device CAL and when is it ideal?
The Device CAL is always the right choice when more people than devices need to access the 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 cost savings: If several employees share one PC, a Device CAL is much cheaper than buying several individual User CALs.
Flexible licence packs for your entire infrastructure
We simplify your licence management. 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 2022 User CAL is the more suitable alternative.

Important licensing note
Please note that an SQL CAL is only valid in conjunction with the "Server + CAL" licensing model of SQL Server 2022 Standard. You must have:
- A valid licence for SQL Server 2022 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 2022 Device CAL for this one PC. That is cheaper than buying three SQL User CALs. You will of course also need the SQL Server 2022 Standard (Server + CAL) licence.
Where on the server do I install this licence?
Nowhere. SQL CALs (like standard Windows Server CALs) serve solely as legal proof of entitlement. You must keep the invoice and the licence documentation as evidence. There is no technical installation or activation on the server.
What is the difference from the SQL User CAL?
A Device CAL is tied to one device, which can then be used by any number of users. A User CAL is tied 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 by cores, you need no CALs. CALs are only relevant for the "Server + CAL" licensing model.
Can we use 2022 SQL CALs to access an older SQL Server 2019 database as well?
Yes. SQL CALs are backward compatible. An SQL Server 2022 CAL can be used to access SQL Server 2022, 2019 and older versions.
