The Windows Server 2022 Device CAL (Client Access License) allows a single device to securely connect to Windows Server 2022 Standard or Datacenter editions, regardless of how many employees use it. This licensing model is ideal for businesses where multiple workers share the same workstation, such as offices with rotating shifts, labs, or kiosks. By licensing per device, organizations can control costs while ensuring secure access to business applications and resources.

Key Benefits for Businesses

• Shared Device Efficiency
  Perfect for scenarios where multiple employees use the same workstation, reducing licensing costs for shared environments.
• Secure Server Access
  Grants authorized access to Windows Server applications, files, and services, backed by enterprise-level security.
• Cost-Effective Model
  More economical than User CALs in environments where many staff members rely on a single shared device.
• Simplified Administration
  Licensing by device makes it easy for IT teams to manage permissions and stay compliant with Microsoft requirements.
• Supports Both Editions
  Works with Windows Server 2022 Standard and Datacenter, giving businesses flexibility in choosing the right server environment.
• Scalable for Growth
  Additional Device CALs can be added as new workstations are introduced, making it simple to expand access as needed.

Windows Server 2022 Device CAL (Standard & Datacenter) is a practical and cost-effective solution for organizations that rely on shared workstations. By licensing access per device, businesses can reduce costs, maintain security, and ensure long-term scalability.
