What is server/CAL licensing and how does it work?
Server products licensed under the server/CAL model require both server licenses and Client Access Licenses. Server licenses are required for each running instance of the server software on a licensed server. CALs are required for each device or user that accesses instances of the server software directly or indirectly.
