Windows Server 2019 Device CAL

The Windows Server 2019 Device Client Access License (CAL) is a specific access right that allows a particular device to access the services and features of a Windows Server 2019, regardless of how many users use that device. This license is ideal for companies or workplaces where multiple people use the same device, such as shared workstations, libraries, or labs.

Main advantages of a Device CAL:

1. Cost efficiency: For organizations that share devices, the Device CAL is a cost-effective solution, since only the device needs to be licensed, not each user individually.
2. Flexibility of use: As long as the licensed device is being used, different users can access the server services. This is ideal for work environments with changing teams.
3. Scalability and management: Companies can scale their server access as needed by adjusting the number of licensed devices and retain control over how and when server resources are accessed.

The Device CAL is an alternative to the User CAL, particularly suitable when users work on shared devices. Both licensing models offer the advantage of regulating server access and ensuring legally compliant use of the server.
