Windows Server, SQL Server, Exchange as well as RDS and User CALs for businesses.
Windows Server and the matching Client Access Licences (CALs) are the backbone of business IT — file sharing, Active Directory, remote desktop and database hosting all run on them. Getting the licensing right avoids both compliance risk and overspending. Here you will find Server editions and the User/Device and RDS CALs that go with them.
Both editions share the same core-based licensing and the 16-core minimum. The difference is virtualization: Standard suits physical or lightly virtualized servers (two VMs), while Datacenter grants unlimited VMs and advanced software-defined features. Our Standard vs. Datacenter guide helps you pick without over-buying.
A server licence alone does not permit user access — every connecting user or device needs a CAL in the matching version. Remote Desktop scenarios need an additional RDS CAL on top. Our CAL and RDS-CAL guides explain User vs. Device CALs and how to count them correctly.
SQL Server can be licensed per core or via the Server + CAL model, and the right choice depends on how many users you have. Our SQL Server 2022 guide walks through both models so you choose the cheaper, compliant option.
