The Windows Server 2019 Device CAL (Client Access License) allows a single device to access Windows Server 2019 Standard or Datacenter editions, regardless of how many employees use it. This model is especially suitable for businesses where multiple workers share the same workstation, such as offices with rotating shifts, laboratories, or customer service terminals. By licensing per device, organizations can control costs while still providing secure access to essential server resources.

Key Benefits for Businesses

• Shared Device Efficiency
  Best suited for environments where several employees use one workstation, reducing licensing costs compared to per-user models.
• Secure Access
  Provides authorized device-based access to Windows Server applications, files, and services with enterprise-grade protections.
• Cost-Effective Licensing
  More economical than User CALs in scenarios where a single device is used by many employees throughout the day.
• Simplified Management
  Device-based licensing makes it easier for IT teams to manage and track compliance across shared workstations.
• Standard & Datacenter Compatibility
  Works with both Windows Server 2019 editions, offering businesses flexibility in deployment.
• Scalable for Growth
  Additional Device CALs can be added as more shared devices are introduced, supporting business expansion.

Windows Server 2019 Device CAL (Standard & Datacenter) provides organizations with a cost-efficient way to extend secure server access in shared-device environments. By licensing per device, it delivers long-term value, simplicity, and compliance for businesses of all sizes.
