What is a CAL and when is it required?

CAL stands for Client Access License and is a server license that every user or device must have in order to legally access the services of a Windows server. It is not included in the server operating system license and must be purchased separately, one per person or one per terminal. The absence of valid CALs constitutes a breach of contract with Microsoft.

What server license is recommended for small businesses?

For a small business with a single server managing shared files, the most suitable combination is Windows Server Standard with the addition of CALs per user. Windows Server Standard covers up to two virtual machines per license and includes all the features needed for small local area networks.

What is the difference between a PC and a server?

A PC is designed for a single user running applications locally. A server, on the other hand, is designed to provide resources and services to multiple users or devices simultaneously, through shared files, databases, business applications, and network authentication.

How do I choose the right server license for my needs?

You can find your way by answering three questions: how many users or devices access the server; how many virtual machines do you plan to run on the same physical hardware; and finally whether you need a dedicated database for a business management application. The first determines the number of CALs needed, the second guides you toward the right product (Windows Server Standard or Datacenter), and the third helps you figure out whether you also need a separate SQL license.

Are all server licenses perpetual?

The server licenses available on PrimeLicense are all perpetual — you purchase them once and use them with no time limits, subscriptions, or recurring costs. This sets them apart from cloud-based models such as Microsoft Azure.
