Microsoft SQL Server - 1 Device CAL (w/ Software Assurance)

Device CALs are required for every Device that accesses the database, regardless of the users who are accessing those devices.

Microsoft SQL Server is a cutting-edge relational database management system that includes several new Database Engine features, enhancements, and performance improvements. SQL Server gives users the choice of preferred development language, data type, on-premises or cloud implementation — and even operating system options. Add one device to your Microsoft SQL Server-powered database with a single Device CAL (plus Software Assurance from Microsoft), now available to order from our Microsoft Cloud Solutions Partners here at EIT Ware.

Applies to SQL Server Editions: Standard & Enterprise.

Microsoft SQL Server Device CALs allow for an innumerable amount of users to access those devices. Device CALs are more cost-effective if you have workers who share devices such as an AM shift and PM shift.

If you need to have external users such as a contractor accessing the database, you will need to purchase a Device CAL for each of their machines.
