Frequently Asked Questions

What does “Device CAL” mean for SQL Server?

A Device CAL licenses a specific device to access SQL Server, regardless of how many users use that device. This is often preferred for shared workstations or fixed terminals.

Is this SKU the SQL Server software itself?

No. This is a Client Access License entitlement for accessing SQL Server. The SQL Server server licence is purchased separately, depending on your chosen licensing model.

What does “Acquired Year 2” indicate?

“Acquired Year 2” indicates the CAL with Software Assurance is being added during the second year of an Open Value agreement term, helping organizations expand licensing mid-agreement in a structured way.

Can I use this CAL with any edition of SQL Server?

CALs are used with SQL Server deployments that follow the Server + CAL licensing model. Ensure your SQL Server edition and licensing approach supports CAL-based access; if your environment is licensed Per Core, CALs are typically not applicable.
