Windows Server 2019 CALs
CALs are required by Microsoft licensing for all users or devices that access Windows Server Standard or Windows Server Datacenter.
For each user or device
When a customer buys Windows Server Standard or Datacenter, they receive a server license that allows them to install the operating system on one computer. A server software license by itself doesn’t provide the license rights to allow anyone to connect to that computer, whether they work for the company or not. Instead, each user or device needs a CAL.
User CAL
_____
A User CAL is assigned to the user and allows that user to use multiple
devices.
Device CAL
_____
A Device CAL is assigned to the device and allows
multiple users to use that device.
