Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Standard – 1 Device Client Access License

Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Standard – 1 Device Client Access License (CAL)

The Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Standard Device CAL is designed for organizations that prioritize hardware-based licensing. In the “Server + CAL” model, while the Server License covers the software engine, the Device CAL authorizes one specific physical device (desktop, laptop, or terminal) to connect to the SQL Server, regardless of how many different employees use that machine.

Why Choose a Device CAL for SQL 2022?

• Cost-Effective for Shift Work: If you have multiple employees (e.g., three shifts of workers) using the same computer to access a database, you only need one Device CAL instead of three User CALs.

• Version Compatibility: A SQL 2022 CAL is backward compatible. It can be used to access any previous version of SQL Server (2019, 2017, 2016, etc.) running in your environment.

• Perfect for Point-of-Sale (POS) & Kiosks: Ideal for retail environments, warehouses, or medical nursing stations where a stationary device is the primary point of data entry.

• 100% Audit Compliance: Ensure your organization meets Microsoft’s licensing requirements by correctly matching your CAL count to your hardware footprint.

Key Features of SQL 2022 Access:

1. High-Speed Connectivity: Authorized devices benefit from the 2022 engine’s improved memory management and “It Just Runs Faster” performance.

2. Secure Access: Full support for the latest encryption protocols and secure-enclave data processing.

3. Future-Ready: While this CAL is for the 2022 edition, it integrates seamlessly with hybrid environments utilizing Azure Arc.
