Windows Server 2008 Device CAL
Description
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Device CAL: The cost-effective licence for shared devices
License your shared hardware correctly and economically with a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Device CAL. This Client Access Licence is not software, but the official entitlement for a specific device (e.g. a PC, laptop or thin client) to access your server's basic services. Once licensed, this device may be used by any number of employees. Buy your official perpetual licence from Vollversion-Software and put the perfect licensing solution in place for shift work and shared workstations.
What is a Windows Server Device CAL?
The Device CAL is always the right choice when more people than devices access the server. The principle is "One device, many users".
- Device-based licensing: You assign the licence to a specific device, not to an employee.
- Ideal for shared workstations: Perfect for computers used in shifts, in production halls, in the warehouse, in call centres or at reception.
- Cost savings: When three or more employees share a PC, a Device CAL is significantly cheaper than buying three individual User CALs.
Licence packs for your whole infrastructure
We make licensing easy. This Device CAL is available individually and in convenient packs for 5, 10, 25 or 50 devices.
If, on the other hand, your employees each use several devices of their own and work flexibly, the user-based Windows Server 2008 User CAL is the better choice.

Important note on licence management
Standard Windows Server CALs are not installed on the server as software. Licensing relies on trust (the "honour system"). Your proof of purchase, consisting of the invoice and licence key, serves as evidence of correct licensing in the event of an audit by Microsoft.
Frequently asked questions
What does this CAL cover? Does it also apply to Remote Desktop access?
No. This standard Device CAL only covers basic access (file shares, print services, etc.). To access the terminal server (Remote Desktop Services), you also need an "RDS Device CAL".
One PC in the warehouse is used by 5 employees. What is the cheapest way to license it?
You need exactly one Windows Server 2008 Device CAL for this one PC. This is significantly more cost-efficient than buying five individual User CALs.
Where on the server do I install this licence?
Nowhere. Standard CALs are purely legal proof. You must keep the invoice and the licence documentation as evidence. There is no technical installation or activation on the server.
We still use Windows Server 2003. Do these CALs work for it?
Yes. CALs are backward-compatible. A Windows Server 2008 CAL can be used to access a server running Server 2008 or any older version (e.g. 2003).
Is the licence tied to specific hardware if I replace a PC?
Legally, the licence is tied to a device. If you permanently retire an old PC and replace it with a new one, you can transfer the licence to the new device. Constant reassignment (e.g. every few weeks) is not permitted.
