What are server licenses?

Server licenses are legal authorizations that allow you to install and use software specifically designed to manage IT infrastructures. Unlike desktop licenses, server licenses regulate access to resources shared by multiple users or devices simultaneously (we're talking about files, databases, remote sessions, applications and so on).

Microsoft distinguishes between multiple types: licenses for server operating systems (such as Windows Server Standard or Datacenter) authorize the execution of the operating system on physical or virtual hardware.

RDS CAL (Remote Desktop Services) licenses are used for the technical activation of users and devices, while CAL licenses (acronym for Client Access License) are documents that certify and attest the genuineness of CAL usage per user or device in case of a Microsoft audit.

Database licenses (such as SQL Server) regulate the use of the data management engine, and finally, visualization licenses such as VMware vSphere allow you to create and manage virtual machines on the same physical hardware.

Why do I need a server license?

Without a valid license, Windows Server enters a reduced functionality state after a grace period and the graphical interface is disabled, as a result Active Directory functionality may be compromised and the system does not receive security updates from Windows Update: an unacceptable situation in production environments.

On the compliance front, an audit by Microsoft can highlight the absence of valid licenses and the consequences range from contractual penalties to the obligation to purchase retroactively the missing licenses, often at full price. For these reasons, having an original license with verifiable CALs is the most effective protection.
