The Windows Server 2016 User Client Access License (CAL) is a user license specifically designed to enable an individual user to access a Windows Server 2016 ? regardless of which device they use. This license is ideal for companies where users need to access the server from various devices such as laptops, desktops, or mobile devices, for example remote-working teams or mobile employees.

Benefits of the User CAL:

1. Flexible access: The User CAL allows a user to access the server from any number of devices. This is particularly advantageous for employees who switch between different devices or work remotely.

2. Cost-effectiveness for mobile employees: Per-user licensing is cost-effective when an employee regularly accesses multiple devices, since only the user and not each device needs to be licensed.

3. Easy scalability: For companies that are growing or offering flexible working models, the User CAL provides an easily scalable and manageable solution.

With the Windows Server 2016 User CAL, companies can provide their employees with secure and legally compliant access to the server environment while at the same time optimizing costs and administrative effort.
