    If the access is anonymous, a CAL isn't required. If the access is being done by someone authenticating to the system then a device or user CAL is required.

    You can do the math below for user or device Cals to find the better option.

    A Windows Server CAL is a license that grants access Windows Server. CALs are used in conjunction with Microsoft Windows Server OS licenses to allow Users and/or Devices to access and utilize the services of that windows server

    • User CALs allow a single user access to Windows Server from an unlimited number of devices
    • Device CALs allow an unlimited number of users to access Windows Server from a single device
    • CALs are licensed to access servers of the same level and below. (not forward compatible)
