Licensing
A Device CAL permits one device (used by any user) to access or use the server
software. Device CALs are likely to be more cost-effective than User CALs if
there are multiple users per device (for example, a call center or an airport
kiosk). These licenses come with Microsoft's maintenance plan, Software
Assurance (SA). A server license is also required.
