Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Device CAL: the smart licensing solution for shared hardware

Make sure your IT infrastructure is licensed correctly and cost-effectively with a Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Device CAL. This Client Access Licence (CAL) is an official access right tied to one physical device, such as a PC in the warehouse, a laptop in the meeting room or a thin client in production. Once the device is licensed, any number of employees can use it to access server services. Buy your genuine perpetual licence from Vollversion-Software and cut your licensing costs, especially for shift work.

What is a Windows Server Device CAL?

A Device CAL is the right choice whenever you have more employees than computers. The principle is "one device, many users".

  • Device-based licensing: You assign the licence to a computer, not to an employee.
  • Ideal for shared workstations: Perfect for computers 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.

Licence packs for your whole infrastructure

We make licence management easy. 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 Windows Server 2012 User CAL is the better alternative.

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 (invoice and licence key) serves as official evidence of correct licensing in the event of an audit by Microsoft.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this standard Device CAL and an RDS Device CAL?

The standard Device CAL only covers basic access to server services such as file sharing and print services. If the device will be used to access a terminal server (Remote Desktop Services), you also need an "RDS Device CAL".

We have 3 employees who share one PC. What do we need?

You need exactly one Windows Server 2012 Device CAL for that one PC. That is cheaper than buying three User CALs.

Where on the server do I enter the licence key?

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.

Can we also use a 2012 Device CAL to access a server running Windows Server 2016?

No. CALs are not forward compatible. To access a server running Server 2016, you need at least a 2016 CAL. However, with a 2012 CAL you can access Server 2012 and older versions such as 2008 R2 (backward compatibility).

What happens if the licensed computer breaks and is replaced?

You can transfer the licence to the new replacement device. The licence is intended for a permanent reassignment, not for temporarily "swapping back and forth" between devices.
