Licencje Windows CAL

Question

Ile licencji CAL potrzebuję dla 80 urządzeń, które mają się łączyć z dwoma serwerami z Windows Server 2025 Standard w ramach jednej organizacji?

Answer 1

Hi

To determine the required Client Access Licenses (CALs) for connecting 80 devices to two servers running Windows Server 2025 Standard, please follow these guidelines:

 

1. Whether you choose Per Device CALs or Per User CALs, each device or user accessing the servers must have a valid CAL. There is no fixed limit on the number of CALs - you simply need enough to cover all actually used devices/users.

 

2. When the same device/user accesses multiple servers, only one CAL is required. Therefore, the number of terminal servers is irrelevant. Even with two servers, the total number of CALs needed remains 80.

 

Conclusion: 80 devices require 80 Per Device CALs.

 

Additional note: If these 80 devices are shared by fewer than 80 users, purchasing Per User CALs would be more cost-effective.
