Advantages of Windows Server 2019 Device CAL for businesses

Windows Server 2019 Device CAL (Client Access License) is a licensing option from Microsoft that allows businesses to access a Windows Server 2019 and use its features and services. One Device CAL is required for each device that accesses the server, regardless of the number of users using the device. With the Windows Server 2019 Device CAL, businesses get the right to use certain features and services of the server. These include the ability to create and manage user accounts and security groups, use file server features, provide remote desktop services, manage printing services, and implement network access protection measures. By purchasing a Device CAL, companies can ensure that their devices have access to Windows Server 2019 and can take advantage of its features. Per-device licensing offers flexibility, as multiple users can work on a single device without requiring a separate license for each user.

It is important to note that a device CAL is assigned specifically to a device and not to a user. This means that each device that wants to access the server requires its own license. For example, if a company has 20 employees who all want to access the same server, 20 device CALs would be required, regardless of how many devices they use. The Windows Server 2019 Device CAL offers businesses a number of advantages. By licensing per device, companies can efficiently manage their server environment and save costs, especially when multiple users share a device. The CALs also enable centralized management of user accounts, security policies, and resource access, which improves security and control in the IT environment.

In summary, the Windows Server 2019 Device CAL is a licensing option that allows companies to grant their devices access to Windows Server 2019. By purchasing a Device CAL, companies obtain the right to access various functions and services of the server. Per-device licensing offers flexibility and efficiency in managing the server environment.
