Windows Server 2022 Device CAL: Maximum flexibility for device access to server resources

Windows Server 2022 Device CAL (Client Access License) is a licensing option for accessing the features and services of Windows Server 2022. It is a device-based license that requires one CAL for each device that accesses the server. These CALs allow devices to connect to the server and use the server's resources and services. With a Windows Server 2022 Device CAL, you get access to a wide range of features and services offered by Windows Server 2022. These include the ability to use file shares, provide printing services, manage Active Directory services, host remote desktop sessions, deliver web applications, and much more. By purchasing Device CALs, organizations gain the flexibility to license their server infrastructure based on the number of devices rather than the number of users. Windows Server 2022 Device CALs offer a number of benefits for businesses. First, they enable efficient and cost-effective licensing, as CALs for devices are typically less expensive than CALs for users. This is particularly beneficial for businesses where multiple users access shared devices, such as shift workers or employees at kiosks or public computers.

In addition, device CALs offer businesses flexibility because they license devices independently of users. This means that multiple users can work on a single device without requiring additional CALs. This is ideal for businesses with shared workstations or in scenarios where users frequently work on different devices. Windows Server 2022 Device CALs are an important component for businesses that want to take advantage of the functionality and services of Windows Server 2022. By purchasing the appropriate number of Device CALs, businesses can ensure that their devices can access the server smoothly and use all the necessary resources and services.

It is important to note that Windows Server 2022 Device CALs must be purchased separately and are not included in the standard licensing package for Windows Server 2022. We recommend contacting a Microsoft partner or reseller for more information about licensing Windows Server 2022 Device CALs and to determine the licensing option that best suits your specific needs.
