Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a Server licence or a CAL?

This SKU is a SQL Server User CAL (client access licence). It does not replace the required SQL Server server licence; it adds user access rights under the CAL model.

What does “Acquired Year 1 (Aq Y1)” mean?

Aq Y1 indicates this is an Additional Product acquired in Year 1 of the Open Value term, typically used when starting Software Assurance coverage from the beginning of the agreement period.

Can I buy multiple quantities for more users?

Yes. You can purchase additional units of this User CAL to match the number of named users who need access to SQL Server, subject to Microsoft licensing rules.

Do I need a User CAL for every SQL Server instance?

Generally, CALs are tied to the number of users (or devices) accessing SQL Server servers, not to each instance. The exact requirement depends on your SQL Server licensing approach and environment; we can help validate your CAL counts during procurement.
