Microsoft Discounts with Software Assurance

A SQL Server user client access license (CAL) authorizes one user to access SQL Server from any device when the server is deployed using the Client/Server mode. For example, an employee might access the server from a computer at work and another at home. This offer provides one user CAL. Device CALs for licensing computers are also available. Additional Information For a summary of the available editions of SQL Server and licensing alternatives, see the Guide to SQL Server Editions and Licensing.

The Core Device CAL Suite is a set of four device client access licenses (CALs) and two operating system environment (OSE) client management licenses (MLs). Together they provide workstation licensing for key Microsoft server technologies. A device CAL gives one computer or other device access to a server regardless of the number of users. An OSE client ML licenses the management of one nonserver device. If a device has multiple OSEs, a separate ML is required for each OSE being managed. See below for details on the CALs and client MLs included with this product. Benefits for Organisations You can request this suite to obtain workstation licensing for six popular server products. You'll also obtain the rights to download and install management server software for Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, System Center Virtual Machine Manager, and System Center Endpoint Protection.
