We wish to install Kyocera's (MyQ Ver 8) app and its database is (Firebird & Apache) on Server 2016 Server, do we need user cals in case of such third party applications accessed by our domain users?

Whilst We are having Server 2008 R2 as a domain controller , and we do have Server Cals and User Cals in compliance already.

our concern is only in first line of query please

appreciate your time and do hope earliest response in this regard

Thanking you

    CALs are required for all users or devices that access Windows Server 2016 Standard or Windows Server 2016 Datacenter, so yes you will need Cals.
