A SQL Server user client access license (CAL) authorizes one user to access SQL Server from any device when the server is deployed using the Client/Server mode. For example, an employee might access the server from a computer at work and another at home.

This offer provides one user CAL. Device CALs for licensing computers are also available.

Additional Information

For a summary of the available editions of SQL Server and licensing alternatives, see the Guide to SQL Server Editions and Licensing.

License Only

CALs, ECLs, and management licenses (MLs) offered through Connecting Up and TechSoup New Zealand are always for the currently offered version of the server software. However, these licenses can also be used with earlier versions of the server software.
